We're a very young business, iterating fast through features, being very careful about writing maintainable code. We have full stack Node apps and full stack Clojure apps. This is a short thread on the difference technology (or would it be language?) choices have made for us. In the case of the clojure apps, in almost every case, we're able to update underlying libraries very easily, with no breaking changes. Generally, there are way less external libraries used in our Clojure code base. When we reach for them, there are fewer options to pick from.
