Yea. I feel sorry when I am going back to Js/Java, I always do Copy-On-Write instead of mutating existing objects that result in very different coding style in teammate’s eyes.

The most power things I learned from Clojure.

  1. don’t be complicated, must have a simple solution most of the time
  2. data centric, most of the program actually are manipulating data
  3. keep no state whenever possible, in reallife, there is not such thing called Transformer that every part could change.
  4. don’t let your architectural decision got into your code, they should be separated. e.g. microservice/monolith should not affect how you write code.
