I am new to clojure and finding it great.. :)

I came across a paper - Why functional programming matters ?
at www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/miranda/whyfp90.pdf



to quote it :
"This paper is also relevant to the present controversy over lazy 
evaluation.
Some believe that functional languages should be lazy; others believe they
should not. Some compromise and provide only lazy lists, with a special 
syntax
for constructing them (as, for example, in Scheme [1]). This paper provides
further evidence that lazy evaluation is too important to be relegated to 
*secondclasscitizenship*. It is perhaps the most powerful glue functional 
programmers
possess. One should not obstruct access to such a vital tool."

I know that if you people have taken some important decision for clojure, 
it must had been after some thoughts.

Was it difficult to implement or not that good ?
