I'm not sure what to make of the dramatic upvotes for this item, and the lack of comments. Is it that many people are interested in Clojure, but haven't used it yet?


Personally I've got little to say, but I think it's an important news, that should be displayed prominently (especially in this community full of LISP fans). So I up-voted it.

I'd also like to learn Clojure at some point (or some other LISPy language like Nu), but haven't had a chance yet, so it wasn't really an upvote because I like Clojure. :)


Head over to http://www.try-clojure.org/ and click the "tutorial" link. You can go through the tutorial in about 30 minutes -- there's not a lot there yet (looks like it's a work in progress) but it's enough to give you a quick flavor of Clojure-scented Lisp.

Then upvote me if you end up liking Clojure ;-)


It could be that much of the discussion regarding 1.2 has happened on the RCs that have come out of the last month or so?
