Clojure 12 Minute Talk

Clojure is a modern Lisp dialect that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. It supports functional programming and immutable, persistent collections. Clojure has a strong concurrency model and allows for easy parallel programming due to its immutable data structures. The language has been around since 1958 and has a large community and good documentation.

- 2. Clojure: A modern LISP written for the JVM Supports functional programming Has strict semantics for mutation of state
- 3. Persistent Collections “ Changing” the collections returns a copy Copies are cheap Efficient set operations in memory Smaller, tighter transactions
- 5. All Collections are “Seq-able” distinct filter remove for concat lazy-cat sort sort-by split-with reverse partition repeat take-while every? not-every? not-any? replicate range at least 40 more...
- 6. Function declaration Arguments Body
- 7. 10 elements of a lazy sequence Assign the result of a function to the local variable n When n is even
- 8. f(x) -> y Created in 1958 by John McCarthy from MIT. DARPA funded the LISP machines at MIT (1978) Scheme (1975) and Common LISP (1984) Long history
