Hi All,
Is there a list of languages that had a big influence on the development of clojure and how this influence manifests itself?
E.g. What language or design decisions were derived from from Haskell or Prolog, etc.?
Kind Regards
Andreas

I am aware of that list. I would be interested in what influence those languages had on clojure. E.g. what language features Rich borrowed from which language when he designed Clojure.
Cheers

While the speaker at the video linked below is no absolute authority
in the matter, he does talk (well, mostly gibber) about some of
Clojure's influences.

I like it when people talk about themselves in third person ;)
Thanks Michael
