This title makes no sense. How come Clojure is better Java than Java? The features mentioned have nothing to do with “Java”-ness. Unless there is a Java equivalent of Python’s `import this` and an article proving how Clojure does “line X” better than Java, the title is an unnecessary click bait to an otherwise ok write up.
