Bozhidar Batzov critiques Clojure, discussing its pain points, tooling issues, and areas where the language and ecosystem could improve.

Bozhidar is the author of RuboCop and the editor of the community Ruby style guide. He's involved in a myriad of open-source projects, mostly related to Ruby, Clojure and Emacs. Many people would probably describe him as an Emacs zealot (and they would be right). He's also quite fond of the Lisp family of languages, functional programming in general and Clojure in particular. Learn more – partialconf.com Twitter – twitter.com/partialconf
