Clojure  A New Diakect of LISP Starts to Make Sense In JVM

And in Particular: Parallel Processing on 
Multi-Core Platforms

One could get the impression that Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-based programming languages are cheaper by the dozen. JRuby, Groovy, Scala, Jython and even good old Java – they are all vying for the attention of programmers. 


While many thought that Scala was destined to emerge as the "winner", another language – Clojure – has been a successful competitor, at least in terms of publicity. Clojure is a Lisp dialect that was specifically developed for the JVM and stands out because it supports the development of applications for multi-core platforms.

      Getting Started
===================================

The main starting point for Clojure is the web site for the language.

Rapid answers to questions are to be had on both the Google group
at  LINK:  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/clojure
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 and the IRC channel
at LINK:  irc://irc.freenode.net/clojure
often enough from Rich Hickey himself.

The Getting Started page
at LINK:  http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Getting+Started
is a good jumping off point for experimenting with a range of IDEs.
