In ten years some other language will get the right language, and the things you're talking about will be for dinosaurs.

Well I might have given you the impression that I am a Clojure zealot. This is not true at all. I program in Ruby, Python, Java, Erlang, Go and OCaml on the top of Clojure. The only reason I prefer the later it because I can use the same minimal syntax to target 2 VMs and that is a huge win. It is also fun to show people the power of Lisp time to time, but that is it. If my manager or team asks me to write code in a random language I am going to learn it and do it, but for personal projects I tend to use Clojure. This is all.
