At GOTO Chicago Functional Programming Night, Erik Meijer and Rich Hickey sat down for a chat about the latest in Rich's programming language, Clojure, and also a had short discussion about one of Rich's latest projects, Datomic, a database written in Clojure. Always a pleasure to get a few titans together for a random discussion. Thank you Erik and Rich!



As Erik mentioned in the discussion, Rich has been on C9 before. Welcome back, Rich!



Rich's session from GOTO FP Night -> The Database as a Value.



Erik's session from GOTO FP Night -> Functional Programming from First Principles (Coming soon!).

Thanks to Dave Thomas for hosting C9 at this affair. We're lucky to have such a great supporter!

PS: The GOTO conference is coming to Chicago in 2013. Erik and Rich will be there along with several other great speakers.
