  • Best talk I've seen from Stu on Clojure (and I've watched nearly all)

    I like how he keeps the audience involved by asking questions, the way you would in a discussion one-on-one, instead of just lecturing. His presentations, and Rich Hickey's are a great way to learn about Clojure

  • Wow!
