I /have/ watched the skills matter video months ago. What i took away from the talk wasn't that Clojure is the last programming language, but that;
- Programming language innovation is rather cyclical.
- Frameworks can be re-implemented, languages ecosystems and frameworks are very important but one should not exclude a language because of it's lack of a framework feature (I think he was picking out .NET and Java here, suggesting that enterprises who select C# or Java because of the frameworks are missing the point)
- Polymorphism is achievable in Clojure, so many popular programming techniques are achievable.
I thought the talk was thought provoking and interesting. Whilst it certainly advocated Clojure, I certainly took the conclusion with a pinch of salt. The entire talk is twinged with humour. It's supposed to spark debate and help push people from their comfort zones IMHO.
