The Western Mass. developer group held a talk last night with Rich Hickey the creator of Clojure.  A video will be is available on blip.tv soon, or so I'm told by Lou. 

 

Some of the highlights for me were,

  •            Tight integartion with java.  If it can be written in java, you can wirte in far less code in clojure.  If you prefer you can write it all in java, and still get all the immutable goodness.
  • Lisp like syntax.
  • it's novel use of persistent data structures (more on this later). 

My apologies for this being a bit off topic, but it was just so darn cool.
