Clojure Is the Future of AI Coding, But You Won't Use It — Argument for Lisp-Based Agent Programming
Latypoff / Hacker News·low signal
A blog post argues that Clojure's homoiconicity (code-as-data), immutable data structures, and REPL-driven development make it uniquely suited for AI-generated code — LLMs can manipulate Clojure programs as data structures rather than text, reducing hallucination-prone string manipulation. The post acknowledges the ecosystem adoption barrier is likely insurmountable despite the technical advantages. 23 points on HN, early engagement.
