I didn't say it was critical of Clojure. It was misinformation and I called it out as such. Regardless of perspective, incorrect is incorrect.

Furthermore, he did clearly state that lein's design is "Oogly" and seemed to be using his shell script statement as an example.

EDIT: Re-reading your post, I'd like to point out that my response here is solely about his remarks about leiningen and not the post in general. I'm passing no judgement on what he knows and doesn't know in general and merely pointing out that Leiningen is absolutely not just a big ol' shell script like he implies. Whether he meant it that way or not, I felt someone needed to point out that it isn't true.



It is oogly (thanks, mostly, to java), and it is a shell script.

scott@thinkpad ~/j64-701/bin $ file /usr/bin/lein

/usr/bin/lein: Bourne-Again shell script text executable

I picked the word "lein" instead of "leiningen" for a reason. That's the part that people use.


In that case, I don't understand the point of what you said at all.
