My experience writing Clojure full-time for the past six months

This talk was presented at the Clojure NYC meetup.

The idea was to share with the Clojure community the details of my experience of writing Clojure full-time at Work & Co for six months straight.
I try to give the perspective of a beginner to the language, highlighting the things I have liked the most and the new concepts I was exposed to.
