Clojure is a very interesting programming language. If you haven't checked it yet, go ahead. Apart from being a pragmatic Lisp that offers easy Java interop, it also has a nice community. So far I haven't spent as much time on the language as I would like, but I'm planning to do that.
I was planning to write a few comments about each talk of the first (ever) Dutch Clojure Days event, but I just noticed that the whole conference is now available online.
If you don't want to watch every keynote, there's one that intrigued me: Conversational Computing: How Okasaki made McCarthy right yet again. I liked the way Michiel is trying to connect the dots.
And if you liked my recommendation and want a second one, try Clojure for Data Science: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Simon covers many nice concepts of functional programming, without being afraid to criticize the ugly parts and express his ideas on how things can be improved.
I'm very glad that I attended this conference. It was free (gratis) but thanks to the kind sponsors we had everything (coffee, muffins, and sandwiches). The venue was nice, and the location great (well, I love Amsterdam anyway). So yeah, nice work guys and until next year happy Lisping in Clojure ;)
