I think Clojure will be my next major language. Been going back and forth between Haskell, Erlang, and Clojure. (Never liked Scala, lacks focus.)


What drove you away from Haskell? Expressiveness there is just awesome, it must've been hard to walk away from that.


I don't know what uggedal's reason is, but mine has to do with the JVM. Deploying nativity on the JVM is a pretty big deal. You've got entire enterprises with vested interest in your deployment platform and a Lisp as your language.


Haskell does seem very nice. However Haskell is fairly complex. It is telling that the Clojure cheat sheet takes up only 2 pages.
