A Michelin engineer shares their experience adopting Clojure for an enterprise reference data system, explaining why it was chosen over Java. Key advantages covered include Clojure's code-as-data semantics (Lisp macros and EDN), REPL-driven development for rapid iteration, seamless Java/Spring Boot interoperability on the JVM, and a rich ecosystem of data-oriented libraries like Malli and Specter. The post also addresses the learning curve challenge and recommends a gradual adoption strategy, starting with prototyping before deeper integration.
