Michael Nygard of "Release It!" fame talks with Stefan Tilkov about his experience using the Clojure programming language.

Michael explains the similarities and differences compared to typical OO languages when implementing domain logic, and uses both game development and typical web development projects as examples. Finally, the two discuss how well Clojure can be used in the face of long-running projects, and some typical obstacles and strategies for introducing it to real-world scenarios.
