I never did see his definition of "win", but Clojure does have a great community and I consider that one of its greatest strengths.
That said, I can never see Clojure "winning" as in how Java "won". For all of Clojure's strengths, it's at best an intermediate step up from Ruby, Python, Perl... It's not that next order of magnitude leap of productivity that is necessary to "win".
The research just isn't going in that direction. The research is going into type systems and static guarantees. And I think the real productivity boosters of the future will be in very smart tooling - a conversation with your IDE I would say. Maybe Clojure could have different views (different surface syntaxes). Maybe it could be the basis of something like intentional programming. But straight Clojure with Emacs isn't going to be "winning" in the big way.

I've thought about that watching old movies from even as late as the '30s - that every single person I'm watching (scenes with 10s if not hundreds of people) are long dead.

There's almost no excuse not to use Scala if you're deploying on the JVM
Do you really believe that or just being flippant?

No, no, no. That's what college professors with no real world experience tell you. In the real world, professionals use guard clauses to exit early all the time.

Not only that, but there should be consequences for submitting this crap too.

Yep, it's a crapshoot, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on one of these anyway. Can you tell me which of the usual suspects (green-sum, hulustar, bigclothcraft, etc.... you went through?
What exactly was your problem, completely dead panel or massive backlight bleeding?

You can get Korean 27" 1440p for around $300 these days.

North Korea will never use nukes against South Korea. They want a reunified Korea under Kim Jong Un. And the best way to do this without killing innocent people is to do what they've attempt countless times before.
Dig a tunnel under the DMZ and send people in to capture/assassinate the key people within the government.
Wow, you really believe that is the best way? Or is that the best way in the demented minds of the N. Korean leadership?

South Korea kinda does not care, because they know North Korea wants the entire Korea, not half-korea and half burned slab of ground.
They might say that to their population, like they say that Kim Jung "Be Illing" shot a hole in one every time, but they don't really want the entire Korea, because they know they can never have the entire Korea.

Resharper can definitely bog things down, especially in big Razor pages.
But as you and the parent pointed out, I've also seen huge improvements in build times with VS2012.
And with VS2013 we finally get edit-n-continue on x64.

That's funny because I feel the same way if I have to use Emacs. It feels like going back to the early 90s with some DOS Borland IDE.
Regular text editors just feel so clunky next to the cohesiveness of VS/Resharper or Intellij.
At some point in time, Emacs is going to have get overhauled to join the 90s, much less the 21st century.
And I understand that CL is a special case with Emacs, but it's still clunky as hell compared to what could have been really awesome environments (think Smalltalk environments), but with lots of resources pumped into the development.

Well, you made through three quarters of the comment before typing 'sheeple'. That's gotta count for something.
It's weird that your offended by that.
Your first statement I tend to agree with, though 'tyranny' is a strong word often implying rule by a single person.
No, it doesn't imply rule by a single person.
That's the thing about the Clojure community. It doesn't have wackjob fantatics like you.
