Clojure – A Functional, Dynamic Programming Language
Clojure is a dynamic, functional programming language that combines the power of Lisp with modern development techniques. It enables developers to quickly create robust and maintainable applications using the latest tools and technology. Clojure has built-in support for concurrency, immutable data structures, and persistent data structures that help improve the performance and scalability of applications.
Clojure's syntax is based on the Lisp family of languages, which makes it easy for Java developers to learn. It also supports multiple platforms, including JavaScript and .NET, making it a great choice for cross-platform development. The language includes many libraries that can be used to build complex applications from simple components, such as web frameworks like Ring, database access libraries like Korma, or testing libraries like Midje.
In addition to its powerful features, Clojure is designed with several core principles in mind: simplicity; consistency; interoperability; extensibility; portability; composability; testability; and performance. These principles make it easier for developers to quickly build reliable solutions that are maintainable in the long run without sacrificing performance.
Overall, Clojure provides an intuitive toolbox of powerful features for developers looking to quickly create maintainable applications in an ever-changing technological landscape. With its intuitive syntax and extensive library of tools, Clojure makes it easier than ever before to develop complex solutions while still keeping performance in mind.

Teradata Metabase Adapter in Clojure v0.43.x
We developed an adapter for Metabase on Teradata for Swisscom. The biggest obstacle was the proprietary database system Teradata, which limits the testability outside the own machine. The pull request is still open and the implementation may be used without warranty.
