Clojure. ;)

For quite some time (maybe even still today?), ClojureScript was compiled to JS using the Google Closure Compiler. I felt sympathy for anyone who had to discuss that out loud.

The trick is to call the latter GCC. Much less confusing. ;-)

And now I've got coffee in my sinus. Thanks for that :D

Would have been good to create a pamphlet to inform on the differences. A Clojure/Closure Brochure, if you will

For sure.

Imagine the pain of talking about Clozure Common Lisp.

Lucky we can do "CCL".

You have no idea how many times I typed clojure when I meant to type closure throughout my career. Bizarrely backwards.
