Clojure Web Frameworks Round-Up: Enlive & Compojure
Clojure is rather new member of the LISP family of languages which runs on the Java platform. Introduced in 2007 it has generated a lot of interest. InfoQ had a small Q&A with James Reeves and Christophe Grand, the creators of Enlive and Compojure, about their projects and their experiences working with Clojure.
Ephemeralization or Heroku's Evolution to a Polyglot Cloud OS
Heroku recently announced its new Cedar stack and the addition of Node.js and Clojure as new deployment languages. InfoQ spoke with Heroku Co-Founder Adam Wiggins about this recent development, underlying principles and future plans.

Book Excerpt and Interview: The Joy of Clojure
The Joy of Clojure by Michael Fogus and Chris Houser is a book that tries to take the reader beyond the language syntax, and show how to write fluent, idiomatic Clojure code. It teaches how to approach programming challenges from a Functional perspective and master the Lisp techniques that make Clojure so elegant and efficient.
An In-Depth Look at Clojure Collections
If you're familiar with Clojure, then you may know that at its heart lays a powerful set of immutable, persistent, collection types. This article covers the underpinnings of these collection types including a deep dive into a couple of them; namely vectors and maps, and presents an example of how viewing a problem through the lens of the "Clojure way" can greatly simply a design.

Erlang Inventors Talk Language Future
In this interview Joe Armstrong and Robert Virding, co-inventors of the Erlang language, talk about the future of the language, including its use in web programming, its ability to scale and more. The duo also discuss Erlang support for NoSQL databases, running the language on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and comparisons with other languages such as Google’s Go.
Chris Houser Discusses Clojure
In this interview Ryan discusses Clojure with author Chris Houser. They cover Clojure's approach to classes, comparing and contrasting it with Java. Chris delves into they type of programming problem sets Clojure is best suited for, especially in relation to parallelism as the number of cores in computers increases and Clojure's applicability as or research language.
