Overview of Clojure for programmers and managers alike

1. Clojure

2. How many zeroes does 100,000 factorial have?
What is Software Transactional Memory
Which programming language came out in 1950-60 and was symbolic (aka
dynamic aka no pointers), had first-class functions and closures, garbage
collection ?
What is tail call optimization a.k.a tail recursion ?
If functional programming is so great, why doesn't everyone use it ? (see next
page for answer)

3. (((lambda f: (((f)((lambda f: ((lambda z: (((f)(((f)(((f)(((f)(((f)
(z)))))))))))))))))))((((((lambda y: ((lambda F: (((F)((lambda x:
(((((((y)(y)))(F)))(x)))))))))))((lambda y: ((lambda F: (((F)((lambda x:
(((((((y)(y)))(F)))(x)))))))))))))((lambda f: ((lambda n: ((((((((((((

5. LISP Concepts
Syntax ? What syntax ?
atoms, forms, & eval
recursion, accumulators, tail-recursion
functions
macros

6. Language features
Immutability
Concurrency, STM
Java Interop
Functional support (map, reduce, comp, partial)
Multimethods
Metadata, Protocols, Namespaces

7. Data types
Syntax ? What syntax ? Oh wait …
scalars [1, 1.0, a, "a", 22/7, 1.00000000N, 1.00000000M]
lists, vectors, maps, sets
Var, ref atoms, agents
Sequences
deftype, defrecord, defstruct

8. Clojure ecosystem

9. Clojure in the Real World
Apache Storm, Datomic, Cascalog, Incanter
Clojure in Real Companies

Clojure at Groupon deck
