Thanks everyone! That gives me a lot more confidence in trying
Clojure. There is a certain freedom in not worrying about types. I
spend a lot of time in Java trying to get types and type hierarchies
right (especially generics). I haven't been doing a lot of unit
testing but I can see how that would help you feel more confident
about your code.

Now the other thing I have to get used to being without is object
orientation. It's amazing how a programming style can create neuronal
paths in your brain and it's hard to think any other way. I sure like
what FP gives you though, especially for concurrency. Now if I could
just understand monads :)

The best thing about Clojure is its friendly and helpful community.
Thanks again. I'm definitely going to start using Clojure where
possible.
