[ANN] Avout: Distributed State in Clojure (via @liebke) -- Distributed STM, in clojure, with distributed versions of Atom and Ref. Asynchronous communication across systems clojure-style.
Yammer moving off of Scala... maybe an opportunity for some #clojure? (via @mi_camp) -- This was an email that was supposed to be private but that somehow got leaked, in which one of the engineers at Yammer explains to both the CEO of TypeSafe, and Martin Odersky the creator of Scala, the reasons why Yammer is back to Java after years of using Scala. A good exercise is to carefully read this email, understand the pains the engineer is referring to, and then think about where Clojure is inflicting similar pains. And no, it doesn't look like they're moving to Clojure either.
