"Nobody builds anything important with it, but it feels more pure to build toys with it than more practical languages."
The company I just joined has 99% of their software written in Clojure. Backend is Clojure, front end is ClojureScript. Their software is kind of important to running day to day operations.
"Some people make big toys."
I would be interested to hear a piece of software that you wouldn't consider a "big toy" or even a "toy" at all. But let's say that software at my company is just a "big toy", it still runs the company's business, that makes it important.
