Rich Hickey, inventor of the Clojure language, and Stuart Halloway, author of "Programming Clojure," presented introductory and advanced concepts of the young JVM language at Wednesday's Northern Virginia Java Users Group. These are some of my notes from the meeting.

Clojure will not attract Joe Programmer. For sure.

True, but Joe Programmer does most of his/her work in PeopleSoft or other similar big vendor app where they don't even get to do much more than click menu items around to glue things together, or write simplistic glue code between large app A and large tool B. Joe Programmer nowadays isn't much of a programmer at all.

Why is it when people talk or write about Lisp, someone always has to put down other programmers saying they're 'not real programmers'? It's a pretty interesting phenomena! See http://bc.tech.coop/blog/images/programmer_hierarchy.png too.
