41: Clojure pre-history with Chris Houser


Listen Later

Chris Houser (Chouser) reflects on the early years of Clojure, Clojure's features, and applying the lessons of Clojure elsewhere.

Note: this podcast was recorded in April 2020 but not published until now. Some of the references are a little outdated, but there’s still some great stuff here that I wanted to get out.

In particular, it doesn’t seem like COVID spreads via metal surfaces very much.
