" summary

Argues Clojure is practical: mostly-functional, data-first, with immutable data reducing race conditions and keeping functions pure. Runs on JVM 1.6 and single jar so Java libraries interoperate without DevOps changes. Demonstrates REPL-driven coding (Emacs + REPL), uses maps, vectors, lists, lazy sequences, threading macros, repeatedly/reduce (creates 20 cows, processes 100-element ranges) and merge/update. Mentions a small REST service and a ClojureScript frontend deployed in production that works, and community help via Slack. REPL-driven development
