Hello, I've been following and enjoying the discussions in this group for a while, and thought I should introduce myself and the language I've been working on. Clojure (http://clojure.sourceforge.net) is a dynamic programming language for the JVM. It is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system, and thread-independent dynamic variables. Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code- as-data philosophy and macro system. Clojure compiles directly to JVM bytecode, and provides easy access to the Java frameworks.
If anyone is interested and in the NYC area, I will be speaking about Clojure at the LispNYC group (http://lispnyc.org) Tuesday, Nov. 13. Details are on that site.
