I have to say, the more I think about it the more I’m getting fascinated by the many features clojure has to offer….

if you do decide to give Clojure more of your time these are the resources I found most useful whilst learning and might be of interest to you:

First up is this talk by Rich. It’s pretty mind bending from a programming language perspective and gives great insight into the philosophy behind Clojure:

Next is an interesting Microsoft interview featuring an unusually out-gunned Beckman:

I’d also recommend you watch this talk on Clojure’s concurrency features. It’s a little old but still highly relevant:

Finally there’s the upcoming Manning book The Joy of Clojure which I found to be an excellent read:
