Clojure is very interesting to me as a way to build and deploy services backed by machine learning. Interesting enough to make me learn LISP :) In particular, two libraries are enormously useful: http://github.com/bradford/infer http://github.com/bradford/infer http://github.com/afeinberg/clomert http://github.com/afeinberg/clomert You can use Hadoop with infer to build your model, fill a Voldemort cluster from Hadoop directly, then also serve your model using infer. All with very little code. That is mucho win.
