		Sharlin 79 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: When O3 is 2x slower than O2 I've written Clojure professionally. It's exactly the language I had in mind when I said that it takes a week to get accustomed to. I find it a very clean and elegant language. Shame that it's dynamically typed.

Check out Common Lisp, it's gradually typed, so if you want you can just write your code like this:

  (defun fib (n)
    (declare (type (Integer 0 100) n))
    (the (Integer 0 *)
         (if (< n 2)
             n
             (+ (fib (- n 1))
                (fib (- n 2).)
