C# vs. Clojure

C# is the most productive production language - it exposes a lot of functional conveniences along with the robustness of strong typing. And they're finally embracing the open source community - a huge plus.

#Language Features We use the basic syntax (for, foreach, if,while) and object oriented constructs (classes, very simple inheritance).

We also use lambdas and block methods extensively, an intermediate level programming construct, but in a very formulaic and predictable way.

Primarily for game and VR development. Also for one off windows client applications.

Used the MongoDB's C# driver to parse large dataset in .csv files and insert into MongoDB.

All of our code is in C#

The main Carbonmade backend / API is written in C# and is ready to run on the CLR. We currently host on Windows but are preparing to migrate to Linux when the CoreCLR stabilizes.

Running the server side API

One of our primary languages.

Programming language

Most of our codebase is C#

Server side development language and frameworks: ASP.Net MVC 4, Asp.Net WebApi 2, Razor View engine, Moq, Entity Frameworks, etc.

Language of choice for Windows desktop and mobile apps

Base language to develop all the features

Out of necessity

Backend code

originally used c# a decade ago when writing the tools for superman returns at my stint with electronic arts, have used it again recently for developing in unity.

sdas

Backend language of choice

Exclusively for Unity. No .NET sorry :/

Developing programming skills. Algorithms and data structure techniques.

C# is our language of choose. Who really uses VB.NET?

C# is my most well-known language. I work with it since my university studies.

Heavily used in front-end client scripting and backend infrastructure; we've been progressively migrating all our infrastructure to be written in C#/.NET Core.

Fast and easy to build complex pipelines, the main component of this project.

We use Clojure mostly for its "Minority Report"-like interactive development in situations that require 'semi-automatic programming' (data inspection, admin tasks, API exploration, scrapers, etc.). We have also used Clojure successfully to build some components of our stack very quickly and reliably, in the backend and the frontend.

We are deeply invested in Clojure - all the power of Java with the simplicity of functional programming.

We use Clojure in several places, most often as a wrapper around other libraries and frameworks (e.g. Hibernate, HAPI, etc.) Our HL7 parsing workflow is heavily based on Clojure with files that look almost like configuration, but actually offer tremendous power and flexibility.

The server-side components are 100% Clojure, and the client UI and server communication logic is written in ClojureScript

The site, while running on the JVM is actually implemented in Clojure

Clojure is our main language for building out both the web service that powers the user interface of Lumanu and the web crawling that provides all of our data.

Our main machine learning service is written in Clojure.

just started learning clojure, maybe around two weeks or so. i'm addicted. this is what i want to be working with and learning for the foreseeable future. the elegance of the language is refreshing. the community is really amazing. i've finally found a language that fits my passion for programming.

Cloure is a high level language that provides access to both the JVM (for server-side development) and javascript (for client-side development) with largely the same language. This is important to limit context switching and enable code-reuse during fast product cycles. Clojure is ideal for rapid prototyping and has a strong focus on stability, correctness, and concurrency. Tools like Schema and Spec enable well-structured development and high code confidence.

To complement Java. The REPL lets me interactively exercise Java code. I can write performant and safe libraries in Java, and then use them in Clojure. I also find the data-centric aspect of Clojure (excellent build-in structures, literal syntax for easily creating those structures, functions that act well on abstractions of those structures) good for data processing.

This fits a sweet spot between Ruby and Java.

Clojure simplifies and reduces the coding efforts involved in creating CloudRepo. The fact that it runs in the JVM gives us access to all the libraries that we could ever need. Our code base is much smaller and easier to reason about than it would have been had we gone with pure Java.
