| Interesting. Brian Beckman was the one who helped me get my first
| clojure environment up and running at Amazon, probably around
| 2012 or 2013.
|
| I noticed before I left (2016) that he didn't have any projects
| running with clojure anymore...at least within the Amazon repos.
| I wonder if he's still using it at all.

| I had no idea ClojureCLR existed. Has anyone played with it?

| Do people still use Clojure? For a while I was really hot on

| I've got Python or Go on the server and some mix of JS, Dart,
| Objective C, or Kotlin on the front end depending on the client
| platform.
|
| Maybe someday I'll be responsible for writing a system back end
| from scratch and I can take off on a flight of fancy like this.

| We have 4 open reqs for Clojure devs. It's still an attractive
| platform to be honest. Our frontends and backends are
| Clojure/ClojureScript and we wouldn't want it any other way

| Oh man, this videos is partly why I got so into functional
| programming (though it actually took around eight more years to
| get into Clojure). Here were two really smart people talking
| about functional programming concepts in a really clear, concise
| way, which was interesting enough for me to look up functional
| programming techniques, which in turn led me to Scala and
| Haskell.

| I will be watching this video again...thanks for linking it!

| Brian Beckman has the best interviews on Channel 9 [1] and

| bit old but I'm sure they're not completely outdated.
