This talk will provide an overview of Clojure, including a gentle introduction to its syntax for those with no prior experience with Lisp, an overview of features, and a discussion of Java integration. Also covered will be Clojure's approach to functional programming, immutability, and concurrency and how they help solve some of the problems faced by Java programmers using threads and locks today.
