You've pasted a broken Clojure example here.

Well, in my book using Lisp in production is impressive for the best part of my programmer friends :-)

Nope. Although JRuby is not very efficient in calling Java code, at least it's not as efficient as Clojure is from what I've read. Another plus for Clojure is that it allows us to easily have a multi-threaded implementation. JRuby allows na

Sorry if it sounded confusing, but we had two modules: one for svn, one for git, there was no intersection between those. But I agree, we've used Clojure(and JVM) in exact point where it would bring the most speed up to our app.

Clojure code is 700 lines, and pretty easy to grasp by anyone who've used Lisp before. We would have to implement a lot of C code to speed up both Git and Svn bindings. And I seriously doubt that we would be able to debug this in a reasonab

Unfortunately the cost of developing this solution in C++ would be forbidding for us. In our case on the pretty much same loop the difference between Ruby and Clojure was 20-30 times. Please note that using Clojure allowed us direct access

Have you seen Leiningen[1]? It pretty much solves packaging and deploying problem. Awesome tool. Also if you're into Web development, I can recommend playing with Noir[2] framework and Korma[3] for SQL abstraction. Heroku also support deplo

Well, once I was done with writing code to cache a Subversion repo, it was clearly visible how much faster Clojure is. Basically same loop to go through all revisions in a repo was 15-20x times faster in Clojure than in Ruby. Very similar c
