Java SIG: 'Hands on programming with Clojure' August 19, 2009

Clojure (http://clojure.org/) is a rather interesting, dynamic programming language for the JVM that is growing in popularity. To quote clojure.org:

"Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs."

I decided that it was time to take a closer look at this language after hearing about a startup that has successfully built and deployed a Clojure application.

So bring your laptops and let's write some Clojure code.
