Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only comment links a Clojure versus Go comparison post, pointing out that Go's select-style concurrency has an equivalent in Clojure. The comment does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
