I'm a Python user and I love Clojure. I guess I missed the Go bus. But there's 2 things about it I'm not too fond of.

One is due to it's declarative nature (which I love), it's quite difficult to get up to speed with unfamiliar code.

The 2nd is due to it's JVM roots. Those stacktraces, man. And when it happens on an anonymous funtion in a not so documented library, ugh. It's like hitting a brick wall.

The first, I can deal with enough practice and Schema/core.typed. Is there any hope for the stacktraces to improve? How do other JVM based languages fare in this regard?
