#92: Clojure: a languages that will change the way you think about programming
Clojure is a dynamically, strongly typed programming language. It’s a
dialect of Lisp running on the Java Virtual Machine. Lisp is 6
decades old and has a really weird syntax. That weird syntax is called
Polish prefix notation. Basically, in every other language
you’ve used math operators like plus or minus are infix. It means they
are placed between operands. For example, 1 + 2. In
Clojure, you always put the operator (or any other function for that
matter) in front. So simple addition becomes… + 1 2.
