Description:
Talk about strange bedfellows: what happens when you mix one part Lisp (one of the oldest computer languages), one part Java (so young, yet so well adopted), a healthy serving of functional programming, and a state-of-the-art concurrency layer on top? That's Clojure, which "feels like a general-purpose language beamed back from the near future." Clojure embraces functional programming with immutable data types and first class functions. It is fully interoperable with Java. Clojure's approach to concurrency includes asynchonous Agents, and Software Transactional Memory. Clojure is fast, elegant, dynamic, and scalable: a language for the future, today.
Comments on this Talk
I have Lisp background but still find the material was presented a bit too fast pace. Most of the time, I was trying find the part of the presentation you were explaining to us. If you can have a laser pen to guide us through your presentation, it will help us to learn more efficiently. Overall, it was a great talk and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment; I update my slide decks every time I present and I'll see about simplifying a few things and perhaps adding some more animations to lead the user better.
