After some time with Clojure, I can not bear to look at any OO code. It's like I developed an allergic reaction to class-based programming.


Even worse is having been through the enlightenment and then witnessing people talk about Javascript or Scala like it is still 1990. You just want to yell to them "You're all living in a cave!"


Even if you decide to do OOP code, it's better in Clojure, I think. Being able to use Protocols and Multimethods and `extend-type` allows to write OOP code in a much cleaner and clearer way than something like Java...at least I think so.
