Hi, Clojure allows the creation of macros, which means that developers can define new things that look like the keywords from other languages.
For example, even defn is just a macro that builds on top of the underlying def and fn forms. I expect that the Twitter storm team have a macro called defserverfn defined somewhere in their codebase - don't expect to find it in Clojure documentation or books because it's not part of the core language.
