Clojure and Its Superpower, The REPL

Cheers to the 14th trip around the sun of the language that’s
made up of data! In this episode, Esko, Matti and Toni discuss
Clojure, REPL, and how you can use them in your next project.
Guests

Matti Lankinen’s programming career started from
the little boy's dream of making his own games. C++ was too hard
at the time, so he started making his own programming language.
It was never finished. (Hands up, who can relate?)


Toni Vanhala learned the alphabet by typing on
the keyboard and copying BASIC programs his mother read aloud. A
couple decades later, Toni got his Ph.D. after programming a
custom gaze tracker, virtual humans that react to facial
expressions, and a chair that senses emotions.
Host

Esko Lahti is an engineer who now works in the
company that got him into Clojure. Now, his party trick at
meetups is to rapid fire through an extensive list of parentheses
jokes.
