I'm using the Clojure programming language to develop programs for JVM platform (I don't like Java language, as it too restrictive & too verboes). Although Clojure is a young langage, but it has many interesting features, such as immutable data, simple concurrency model & many features of Lisp language Lisp, while work on JVM provides access to numerous libraries, developed for this platform.

I mostly using this language to analyze numerical & textual data for information retrieval & data mining. In my work I use Incanter - very useful library for data analysis, numerical calculation & creation of graphics.

Where to find information about Clojure

Main source of information about this language is site of language and mailing list. Another useful source of information is Planet Clojure — aggregator of blogs dedicated to Clojure. There is als labrepl project that contains all necessary for quick start.

Currently exists only one book about Clojure — in Pragmatic Programmers series was published the book Programming Clojure. This book describes version 1.0 of the language and covers all necessary parts of language.

In may 2010th is planned to release book Practical Clojure. The Definitive Guide, that should describe both language, and examples of it use for practical tasks.

And in the fall of 2010th the Manning publications plans to release 2 books about Clojure: Clojure in Action and Joy of Clojure. Thinking the Clojure Way. These books are available as part of MEAP program (Manning Early Access Programm), so you can order them and read new material as it become available1.

I'm also collecting links to video-lectures & screencasts about Clojure. You can find them on separate page.

Some articles about Clojure

I wrote some number of small articles about Clojure (other notes about Clojure you can find in my blog):

I also wrote an introduction-level article (in Russian) for 4th issue of Russian Magazine "Practice of Functional Programming" — I plan to translate it to English some time later.

1. From time to time, Manning gives pretty good discounts for their books — look to announcements at Manning@Twitter
