Come back to me when there's a standard for JSON schemas so my data can be actually strongly-typed + verified.



JSON was used in the original article as a placeholder for Clojure forms. You can (optionally) get strong typing using Clojure records[1] (see defrecord) or using core.typed[2]. Datomic also lets you specify types[3].

I'm not "coming back" to you, as I don't appreciate your snarky, know-it-all tone. I'm replying for the benefit of others reading who may not be familiar with Clojure.

I think the parent is saying basically: Greenspun's eleventh rule

   Any sufficiently complex Lisp implementation contains 
   an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow 
   implementation of half of Haskell's type system.
