Clojure 2024

In 2007, Rich Hickey introduced Clojure with a clear mission: to offer the simplicity of functional programming with the practicality of languages like Java and C#. Designed as a hosted language on the JVM, Clojure provides a reliable and efficient toolbox for experienced engineers and architects, empowering them to break free from complexity. This talk will explore Clojure’s history and review updates to our ecosystem.
