I wrote about benefits Clojure (v1.0) some time ago: http://bitumenframework.blogspot.com/2009/09/benefits-of-using-clojure-lisp-in.html The best benefit of Clojure is, I think, the power-to-weight ratio. The language is so much devoid of syntax and semantics bloat that whatever code you write in Clojure is pure productivity. Concurrency- handling makes it suitable for current-day development and as Chouser noted, the Macros feature is a game changer. Regards, Shantanu
