+1 for better title.

So I know about Joxa from another HN post related to BEAM based languages. I think that post better represents context for this Lispy-not-Erlang.

I have to say, I really like it, I plan to play more with it, but I think BEAM is solid platform and something I am not jaded with like with JVM, which probably is also excellent platform, just dealing with it /w JRuby soured me for life.

Anyhow, excellent effort, the other Lisp on BEAM LFE is great as well. Off to play with Joxa.



Why are you jaded with the JVM? Would that lead you to choose Joxa over Clojure?


I think I referred of joy of using JRuby, nominally it is much faster, but problems with it are just not worth it. It is very hard to compare Joxa vs. Clojure, but I would definitely appreciate BEAM way more, especially as I like Elixir and Erlang a lot.


Also, not to be a jerk, but your build is failing :)!
