I really don't like the word n00b in this article. I feel like this article would be much better if they replaced the word n00b with beginner. When I read the title I thought the article was going to be about Clojure attracting to many childish people.
Exactly. To me, clojure is anything but a language for n00bs.
I consider it best suited for people with extensive knowledge of the Java platform and at least good notions of FP, needing a way to write more powerful and concise code without throwing away a proven codebase or compromising performance.
Even if new to Clojure (or Lisp) I would not call these people n00bs.
