<p>Clojure is a dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, with a compelling combination of features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clojure is elegant. Clojure’s clean, careful design lets you write programs that get right to the essence of a problem, without a lot of clutter and ceremony.</li>
<li>Clojure is Lisp reloaded. Clojure has the power inherent in Lisp, but is not constrained by the history of Lisp.</li>
<li>Clojure is a functional language. Data structures are immutable, and functions tend to be side-effect free. This makes it easier to write correct programs, and to compose large programs from smaller ones.</li>
<li>Clojure is concurrent. Rather than error-prone locking, Clojure provides software transactional memory.</li>
<li>Clojure embraces Java. Calling from Clojure to Java is direct, and goes through no translation layer.</li>
<li>Clojure is fast. Wherever you need it, you can get the exact same performance that you could get from hand-written Java code.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many other languages offer some of these features, but the combination of them all makes Clojure sparkle. This course, based on the book <a href="http://www.pragprog.com/titles/shcloj/programming-clojure">Programming Clojure</a>, shows you why these features are so important, and how you can use Clojure to build powerful programs quickly.</p>
