Um. Here's the first part of Clojure's docs [0]. Compare and contrast: "A pitch is a frequency. 440Hz is an A pitch. There are twelve pitches. Each pitch differs from the previous pitch by the multiplicative constant twelfth-root-of-two. Twelve pitches in a row doubles the frequency, creating an octave." It only takes four or five paragraphs to mathematically describe the basis for chromatic notation.

If Clojure fully contained all its abstractions, then it would not have the option of calling into the JVM.

Clojure does not have the property that cutting any fragment of a valid program yields a valid program. There are languages in the concatenative style which have this property, but even there, the ability to compose does not guarantee the ability to split.

If you think that types produce reliability, then you do not understand types.

You seem dedicated to Clojure, which is great, but music is thousands of years older and has figured out a lot of stuff. I think that you also missed my bigger point, which is that programming is roughly at the same point in its art that cave painting was at hundreds of thousands of years ago. If you think that Lisps are beautiful and Clojure is the pinnacle, then I think that you don't know beauty. But it's not your fault; you've never seen anything beautiful. None of us have. And none of us ever will, at the current rate of progress.

Here, have a video to provoke some thoughts: [1]
