Hi :) I've recently broached the subject of Clojure with another dev in my organization, and his response was basically "What's Clojure"? and I'm not sure how to answer that in a way that might inspire him. "It's a dynamically-typed functional Lisp with persistent immutable data structures that runs on the JVM" doesn't seem like it will grab his interest. =)
I work primarily in .NET, and he does enterprise Java. I don't know him well enough to know how happy he is with it. He did express interest in learning .Net. I came to an appreciation of Clojure through -CQRS (the power of decomplection!) -Sussman and Abelson's SICP class at MIT online (the power of homoiconicity and functions!) -the death of Silverlight (alternatives to Javascript in the browser?) By the time I found Rich Hickey's talks (eg Simple Made Easy) I was pretty well primed to love Clojure. I've been using it for little personal projects and prototyping for a couple of years, but I haven't put it in production because no one else here knows it. Could anyone tell me how they got from enterprise Java to Clojure? Thanks very much, Johanna -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
