I've been using functional programming *techniques* for several years, writing web applications, voice applications, etc. etc. — lots of languages (CL, Java, Python, C…). Haskell I've used but never deployed. I'm intending to deploy Clojure in a hosted service domain (telecoms). It offers the pleasant blend of speed, integration with Java application servers, and the opportunity for correctness (STM offers some useful attributes for altering routing data, for example). > BTW, trying to explain Clojure, Lisp syntax, functional programming > and Clojure concurrency in 45 minutes is somewhat exasperating! Heh, too true! Fortunately I have a boss who understands the advantages. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
