From what I have seen in this article, and hn thread, and every time in general when there is a discussion about clojure or dynamic typed languages, you are only speaking about tiny examples and even more tiny projects. I can’t really imagine myself working on a million line project written in clojure or another language without any type safety. Happy to be wrong, but I’d like to hear the experiences of people actually working on this kind of big projects rather than pointing to toy projects less than 10k lines maintained by tens of people... From my experience dynamic typing can be awesome for small prototypes, but to be production ready you need to spend much more energy for testing.

More on the topic I can say that I don’t really see anything compelling that you can’t easily do in F# with a lot more safety in this article...
