Intro to Clojure: Exploring a different approach to programming on the JVM

Join us for an evening of code, community, and pizza at the Java Meetup Cologne, hosted by Inspired Consulting! Felix Dorner is a software developer from Düsseldorf who works mainly with Java and JVM technologies. Like many of us, he’s spent years in the world of classes, frameworks and mutable state, and he’s got curious what happens when you keep the platform but change the programming paradigm. This talk is an introduction to Clojure, a modern Lisp that runs on the JVM and gives you full access to the Java ecosystem you already know. Let’s play with functional programming … work with immutable data structures … use the Clojure REPL Live-coding ahoy! Come for the code, stay for the community – we’d love to see you there 🙂
