Clojure Deep Dive

Clojure packs a tremendous amount of power into a very small package. Clojure inherits the power and elegance of Lisp, and in this session we'll explore the features that make Clojure so attractive: macros, multimethods, meta-data, and an overview of Clojure's rich built-in library.

We'll also go into more detail about Clojure/Java interop, and explore Clojure's ability to create new Java classes on the fly, and take a look at Clojure's evolving “contrib” library.
