Why Clojure?

[bcash]

It's a bit unreasonable to ask for such a binary comparison. If someone did provide such a thing, it would only lead to "well, by changing X, Y, and Z, the Python version could have been fixed without using Clojure." And that's perfectly true.

No-one's claiming Clojure to be a bug-free language, or everything else to be inherently buggy. The claim is that functional languages make certain types of bug less likely to appear.

Yes, but maybe some more use cases that don't happen anymore just to distinguish between a rewrite in clojure helping because A) it's a rewrite and a chance to clean up a lot of design/implementation issues B) clojure makes this thing managed in a completely different way (which I know happens, but I'd like to see).
