aaa ok I can see from the website that you're not exactly teaching
Clojure as 1st programming language but rather genetic programming with
Clojure. This certainly makes more sense than what I originally
understood... It just seems impossible to convince academics that 1st
years should become problem-solvers first and programmers after...Java
is too grounded in most schools!

so, reading the above statement, can I infer that Hampshire college
offers a Clojure course to 1st year undergrads? I'm trying to promote
the same concept for Manchester University (UK) but all the
'important' people insist that he 1st years should learn Java/C#! In
all fairness, we do have tight collaboration with Oracle and Microsoft
so I guess they are sort of demanding it!!! However, the fact that
there is absolutely no exposure to functional programming throughout
the 3 year degree is beyond me! Assuming you faced the same 'corporate
obstacles 'when you first proposed the idea, how did you get past them?
