Clojure is an extremely fine piece of engineering, and was quite a breath of fresh air at the time of its introduction. It allows you to run stuff on the JavaVM, which was everywhere back then (still is, actually), and in the browser via JavaScript. Hickey made it happen out of thin air. That's why I take him seriously. By the way, "complect" is an actual word.
