Shownotes

Craig Andera (@craigandera) has been using and speaking about Clojure for years, especially notably of late as the tireless host of the long-running Relevance podcast, where he has interviewed a wide array of personalities (both inside and outside of Relevance, where he is a full-time Clojure developer) that impact and influence Clojure and the space around it.

This episode of Mostly Lazy is quite different from prior episodes in that it is effectively Part II of a longer conversation that started in Episode #31 of the Relevance podcast, where Craig interviewed Chas about Clojure Programming, the state of Clojure broadly writ, 100% time, and other things.  If you haven’t listened to that yet, you should go do so now, before listening to this!

Enjoy!

(Recorded on April 19th, 2013.)
