Isn't it amazing that they built a real-time diagnostic system for Boeing plane in Clojure with a team that haven't previously used Clojure? They basically were learning on the fly, coming from OO background, about map/reduce, immutability etc.
Kudos for being really open when choosing the best tool for the job after initial research (among the reasons behind picking Clojure the guy lists functional reactive style and being able to easily parse DSLs). Code brevity was one of the positive side effects, which made code reviews much quicker.
Impressive
