As much as I’m interested in scala, and am looking at how to “sneak it in” to my current project, I say go in deep for clojure. Why/how?

I stumbled across a fantastic online book “Practical Common Lisp” http://gigamonkeys.com/book. It shows real-world samples of using Lisp, including writing a unit test framework in less than 50 lines of code, along with an MP3 database and HTML generation library. At least the introduction chapter. It hooked me.

Now for the kicker, another guy wrote a corresponding blog, showing the equivalent solutions in Clojure! http://blog.thinkrelevance.com/2008/9/16/pcl-clojure.
