In 2007, Rich Hickey introduced Clojure with a clear mission: to offer the simplicity of functional programming with the practicality of languages like Java and C#. Designed as a hosted language on the JVM, Clojure provides a reliable and efficient toolbox for experienced engineers and architects, empowering them to break free from complexity. This talk will explore Clojure’s core philosophy and its impact on solving real-world problems with clarity and power, making it a practical choice for modern system development.
