Manning.-.Clojure in Action Gavin

The Clojure programming language has been influenced by dozens of languages and has taken the best of many worlds to become what it is today. Clojure is a modern Lisp, and it embraces the functional paradigm. It also runs on the JVM. This makes for a very potent combination. In today’s world, where programmer productivity is paramount, Clojure shines. All else being equal, a good Clojure team can run circles around significantly larger teams using other languages. I’ve seen this in my own startup over the past three years.
