"Clojure in Product. Would you do it again?" podcast, Ep. 12, with Marcin Maicki, Dentons
Hi all,
We recently released a conversation with Marcin Maicki, who’s been running Clojure at Dentons (global law firm) for 9 years – surrounded by C# and TypeScript.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like being the only functional language in a large enterprise stack, this one’s for you:
What we covered:
-
Integration realities when you’re the odd stack out
-
How security and compliance audits shape your architecture choices
-
Keeping a decade-old codebase maintainable (and teaching new people to work with it)
-
When choosing Clojure is smart - and when it complicates things
Listen here:

Curious to hear your own “non-standard stack” war stories if you’ve got them.
