> Clojure, from the beginning, was intended to be a general purpose language, not a web language
i don’t think that is strictly true, clojure is for “situated programs” which is basically a perfect description of cloud information systems and user interfaces.
immutability and macros is not what you want for games, for example. and data science is very SQL/struct oriented, it doesn’t hit clojure’s high notes. mobile is very platform interop heavy and best done natively without adding intermediate abstraction layers. databases are written in lower level langs for performance (Datomic is not known for lightning fast queries). what’s left?
