I attended the first conj-labs in Brussels, June 23-25. It was three days of intense Clojure learning with Clojure profiles: Christophe Grand and Lau Jensen. I must say it exceeded my expectations! Everyone was great and I really feel it took my Clojure to the next level.
This post describes some ...

Rich Hickey, creator of Clojure:
As should be obvious, Clojure is a labor of love on my part. Started as a self-funded sabbatical project, Clojure has come to occupy me far more than full-time. However, Clojure does not have institutional or
