It's a great talk. I've seen many people on /prog/ groundlessly criticizing Clojure, and it's sad. It this presentation Rich Hickey addresses all their points and provides a coherent rationale behind Clojure and its various ``unusual" design decisions. Despite being quite lengthy it doesn't get tedious as it quickly jumps from topic to topic, sometimes with interesting questions form the crowd between the jumps. You should definitely watch this video before forming your opinion about Clojure.

Who is this "In Lisp" guy you keep talking about? Why do you bring him up in every thread???? r u a "meta-troll"??

>>42
He's a russian jew and mathematician. He is also unemployed.

>>43
No, he's an Ingush muslim.

>>42
Why do you bring him up in every thread?
Because they hate me, as I refuse to accept their Set Theory and SYNTAX-CASE bullshit.

At least Clojure has libraries. Common Lisp and Scheme are fucking jokes in that regard.

I'm unsure actually.
There used to be this guy who had implemented a rather weird language in Common Lisp. That was the original ``in Lisp" guy.
I'm unsure if they're still talking about that guy.

Please tell me more about this ``rather weird language''.

Not this thread again.
