Re: JavaWorld article
The article I wrote just came out at JavaWorld http://www.JavaWorld.com (archived here) http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2009/jw-05-clojure.html. Hopefully this article will influence Java developers to give Clojure a try. Thanks to Rich and to the whole Clojure community: The responsiveness, the skill, the quality and power of the code, never cease to amaze me. Thanks also to everyone who read and commented on the article.

Its goal is to encourage senior Java developers to learn more about Clojure. The audience is experienced and knowledgeable about Java, but LISP to them is a distant memory from college. So, rather than present a tutorial, or an advanced study of language features, I focus on comparing language constructs in Clojure to similar (often inferior) ones in Java If anyone would like to comment on a draft, please contact me offline. I'd appreciate the input. Joshua --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Joshua, I'd be happy to take a look if it'd be helpful.
