It is true that Clojure is hard. I have programmed in several languages, some of them quite different (APL !) and CLojure is one I'm having a hard time learning. For me learning a new language has always been easy. Maybe I'm getting old.
Presentation like this are good because you get motivated and you always pick-up bits here and there. It would be nice to have more introductory presentations about the language. Presentations where you could learn the idiomatic way of solving common problems would be nice (loading a file then parsing the content and spitting data out, ...). I can already solve some problems in CLojure but my code is not clean (idiomatic) Clojure.
Presentation are a nice change from reading and trying to work little programs on your own.
Pairing works for some people but a lot of people I know are allergic to it (I,m one of them).
