Not about clojure, but see this presentation from the developers of Gears of
War:
<http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~dpw/popl/06/Tim-POPL.ppt>
It talks about the programming language features that they would like, that
would enable them to utilise
multi-cores, and write better software in general; functional programming and
STM are the main two.
