Betting the company on Clojure - Erik Assum

When Erik Bakstad and Magnulf Pilskog founded Ardoq in 2013, they decided to use Clojure to implement the backend, and Javascript for the frontend. Now almost 10 years later, Ardoq is a successful scale up with over 200 employees. In this lightning talk we'll examine the reasons for choosing Clojure, and how those decisions turned out. We will also compare our experiences working both in working in the code base and how easy it has been to hire new employees.
