At Red Planet Labs we’ve been quietly developing a new kind of developer tool for many years. Our tool reduces the cost of building large-scale end-to-end applications by multiple orders of magnitude, and Clojure is a big reason why we’ve been able to tackle such an ambitious project with a small team. Our codebase consists of 250k lines of Clojure split evenly between source and test code. It’s o

Dynamic, functional programming languages like Clojure are sometimes considered “slower” than their statically-typed and/or OO counterparts, due to facilities like dynamic function dispatch and immutable-orientation, etc. But this comparison is too general. Clojure is readily optimizable in cases where utmost performance is key. Clojure embraces the “Get it working, then make it fast” approach to
