Perhaps a bit too specialised, but there is a good example for

I think it depends a lot on your audience. For example, java spring
programmers are likely going to be impressed by the simplicity and speed at
which you can get a project started, especially when using lein and being
able to avoid the common load of bolerplate java, xml, etc. Programmers

Hi,
I based a recent presentation in a local user group on the bank account

demonstrate, though. Many true advantages are too subtle for elevatorspeak,
though. For example, people used to pitch *pmap* that way: instantly turn a
sequence transformation into a multicore-saturating performance king.
How about Clojure's web
1. Plain Clojure function as handler, request and response are just
maps, they are printable.
2. Easy testable: handler is a function, pass a request, get the
response, assert the response is wanted.
3. Easy mockable: use bindings to mock centain
I have trouble finding a simple example, but I know I have written a
lot of apps that have less than 200 lines of code, but if I had
