@headius The fact that stuff like this is written up in such a clear way is one of the reasons I like Clojure
@sanjiva Have you looked at Go? At least its goal is to qualify as a C replacement

OK, I take back that last-century claim; let's call it a potential niche language for VM implementers
@rossmason I agree people are looking for new languages, I'm just not sure they'd care about something as last-century as Go
RT @svrc: Tweaking material for my "Designing for the Cloud" tutorial on Monday afternoon, QCon SF. Lots of interesting topics to cover.

"Leiningen is a build tool for Clojure designed to not set your hair on fire." http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen –– really nice
@dwragg: "Go is worthy of attention because of Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, et al." –- True. But that would only cause 0.1% of the attention.
It may surprise you, but I agree with @adambien that Java EE is pretty lean.
For a programming language that sucks so much, that is ;-)
