		aero142 on Aug 10, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Clojure is not Software Conservative Agreed. I consider myself most comfortable in Python and I find myself uncomfortable with Clojure's liberal side more often than it's conservative side. I think I still have a lot to learn from and about Clojure but I don't think it fits very well into Yegge's spectrum. The author is correct that the most important thing about Clojure is Rich Hickey's philosophies on simplicity in code. I don't find simplicity to be a very political topic.

Have you seen the US Tax code?

Yes, and if you told me it was complex because of either the conservatives or liberals, I would call you an ideologue.
