Clojure and Erlang are very similar, except for the syntax, macros and that you can use Java libraries.
There is one big difference: In Erlang, fail as early as possible is the norm. In Clojure it is almost the opposite. Many errors in Clojure code will result in nil, and most operations accept nil as a valid parameter, i.e. many fails will not even be visible unless you check the result. The most common I stumble on is assuming that a value exists in a map, but that is just the top of the iceberg I assume Rick H did this on purpose, and I am looking for pointers to where the rationale behind is described.
