Use examples for Clojure in projects

Question

Of course, I'm not talking about using Clojure just because I can.

I wonder where and when to use Clojure, and what is the value that it brings to the project.

Suppose I am developing a web application in Java, where can I use Clojure? are there any use cases in your mind?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I have been a hack for a long time, and I believe that I am much more productive in a dynamic language that has good opportunities for interactive development (i.e. repl).

Clojure gives me such a performance advantage, offering much better performance than ruby, better concurrency functions and does not require crossing any form of bridge to interact with java libraries. It can also be compiled into Java classes, so I can create libraries for java users without requiring them to know or make sure that it is clojure, not the java code that they run.
