On March 20th, the regular meeting of the Western Mass Developer's Group will feature Rich Hickey, the author of Clojure.
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp that compiles to Java Bytecode and runs on the JVM. It features persistent, immutable data structures and a model for creating multi-threaded designs. If you haven't seen clojure, please take a look at the site:
http://clojure.sourceforge.net/
The meeting will be at 243 King Street in Northampton -- Chas has arranged a space, and there is a lot of parking. The presentation will start at 6:30.
And, if you have a chance, you might want to check out his talk at the Lisp NYC meeting:
