I read the comment as condescending and as a reply to the parent commenter's lack of knowledge about Clojure and Clojure ecosystem. May be I interpreted it incorrectly and that's why I suggested to shine the light on the real picture.

Also, I didn't ask to write about web development, merely share information/links like the other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8420463) did.

Tbqh, my remark was pretty condescending, because the original comment seemed to be suffering from the DK effect.

In fairness, there's a kernel of truth in that almost any article about Clojure seems to get uncritically upvoted, but that's another matter. The fact remains that Clojure, whilst not as popular as Scala, is nonetheless (quietly) in use at a lot of firms.

Some more examples: * CitiGroup EU FX derivatives is pure-Clojure * There's at least three different hedge funds using it. * Deutsche Bank are definitely using it too.
