On “New Clojurians: Ask Anything”

If you're hip to Common Lisp, you might find it valuable to watch these videos of Rich Hickey presenting Clojure to the Boston Lisp meetup some number of years ago. He's talking about an earlier version of Clojure, but none of this stuff has really changed. It's a pretty good introduction to the general design intent of the language as well. link to this video link to this video
