• Awesome example of thought leadership: Clojure - datatypes (here, via @kyleburton) -- So Rich Hickey finally got around to write about the new datatype features in Clojure 1.2: deftype, defrecord and reify. These features are here to liberate Clojure itself from Java the language and become more independent. They are also faster than gen-class and proxy, but they are not exactly equivalent. Must read.
  • is trying to decide whether or not to do a screencast to explain why macros are awesome to C# and Java developers (via @craigandera) -- Craig recently published a 6 part screen cast on Concurrency in Clojure. Craig, do it! Will also help in some of those pesky Scala vs. Clojure discussions of late...
  • If the main difference between Scala and Clojure is syntax then the main difference between an F-22 Raptor and Boeing 777 is paint color (via @jamesiry)
  • huh 40% off on Joy of Clojure (and other books) with Manning with code a2140 through the 28th. <3 Manning (via @westernwizard)
  • 40% off #Clojure in Action - use code a2140 at checkout (here, via @amitrathore)
  • I've learned a lot about #clojure by skiming/reading http://clojure-log.n01se.net/ every night (via @BrianCarper) -- I couldn't agree more. That address contains archives of the Clojure IRC channel. The Library of the Congress should buy these and not the whole Twitter database as it did recently!
  • Did you know about with-open? Start of a small post series for #clojure (here, via @kotarak) -- What a good start, keep them coming! What is it going to be, a weekly thing?
  • Just recorded a fun - and I hope excellent - @makeall with @KirinDave on clojure (here, via @cote) -- Michael Coté is an industry analyst with RedMonk. This interview covers the very basics of why one should be interested in Clojure.
