See Mark's comment above. ML expert, wrote a book about ML for Clojure, but it seems he had to stick to Python, since that's where the ML jobs are. I've read a few times now that Clojure folks think it's much better suited for ML projects and yet Python has 'won' in the marketplace.
I'm just trying to understand why Closure hasn't caught on. It's marketed as a general purpose language, has all these amazing benefits, amazing community but now it's niche and adoption seems to be slowing and that's a shame.
So hopefully this documentary will help to increase adoption. Because I think we can agree it would be nice to see more Clojure jobs.
But what else can be done? Does it need better marketing? Better on-boarding for beginners?
Or is it futile because most newcomers and tech leads won't want to invest the effort to get over the initial bump of a steeper learning curve and see smaller ecosystem as a downside?
I don't know, hence my question.
