Hey all,

I've been exploring reducers[1] lately, and while I had some trouble with the official
documentation, this talk[2] was incredibly helpful in wrapping my brain around them, so I
figured I'd share it in case anyone else was grappling with reducers.

Anyone else have talks that clarified the previously opaque or blew their minds?

My students worked on a project of efficiency of reducers vs pmap and we have written a paper for a regional student conference on it:
It gives a bit of background (to those not familiar with Clojure) and has some curious observations. 

Not enough to explain all the details, but still provides a few insights from a practical standpoint.

My thoughts on this:

1. Wow is his hair out of control.
2. Rich always makes me feel like a lazy moron when he speaks.
3. Great presentation.
4. Time to make some pie.

Good idea Evan! Here's a few that I've enjoyed:

A classic Clojure intro by Rich Hickey

Zach Tellman talking about queues and how they fail

It's not a presentation but I really liked this paper about minimizing complexity in programs. It's an academic paper, but isn't very dense and reads more like a blog post.

Cheers,
Brian
