Description

Clojure: your new favorite programming language

Clojure is a fascinating new(er) programming language, created by Rich Hickey, that combines the ubiquity and performance of Java with the power and expressiveness of Lisp. Clojure excels at interesting problems, especially those involving concurrency, but can also freely interoperate with standard Java. Clojure developers quickly become passionate about this odd little hybrid: it's easy to learn, yet deeply powerful, and is at the heart of a vibrant and exciting eco-system of tools and libraries.

Speaker

Howard Lewis Ship

Howard is a long-time Java developer with a recovering case of framework-itis, as evidenced by the Apache Tapestry web framework; he's been following Clojure for several years, and has been doing full time Clojure coding for the last eight months. He's a fan of both expressiveness in code and runtime efficiency, so Clojure is a natural fit.
