Description:
Rails has become an incredible tool for designing and building web applications and has quickly become a dominating framework amongst premier developers. Clojure is an up and coming language that has a lot to offer. While Rails is a fantastic framework and Ruby is an incredible language, problems often creep up that are outside of the common sweet spot for both. Take a look at how to leverage Clojure to solve these problems and change the way you think about web applications.

Terrific delivery. I would have enjoyed some code, e.g. some concrete examples of using Incanter.

Delivery was good...but after a 40 minute talk, I have no idea what clojure is.

Can't believe I'm going to complain about not seeing LISP code, but I would agree that some more specifics would've been cool, e.g. showing some unperformant Ruby code vs. the Clojure equivalent, and then a discussion about how this looks in deployment.
I did like the concept of several different languages all serving one site (fit with other themes at the conference), but more specifics would've been cool.
Delivery/flow/etc. was good
Imagine reading great reviews about a book, then going out and spending the money on a book. Then you get it and you find out you only bought the introduction to the book. That is what attending this 40 minute talk was like. It was all an introduction that could have been 5-10 minutes and then given details and examples. I really felt like I was reading blurbs on a homepage.
