Could a Lisp be Blub?
mahmud: Clojure risks heading that way; for all its beauty, clojure is losing its culture fast! You can already see Design Patterns being shoehorned on top of it, Java programmers will embrace it and extend it in earnest.The sort of applications being written with the language are a huge factor in making it attractive to other users. All the truly beautiful languages had operating systems or huge desktop applications written in them; you used the language to extend something already powerful. It rewards your programming. Clojure will most likely become a server-side programming language, with little user interaction.
