I'm currently reviewing Clojure for some business analytics tools I've been tasked to develop. Mainly it's a case of getting up to speed with the Halloway book before I can make any recommendations.

This is an inspiring story of the use of Clojure along with many other technologies to build a flight delay prediction tool (flightcaster.com).
Read it through.. it's quite the hacker's dream:
Hadoop + Cascading + Amazon EC2/S3 + Ruby on Rails (Heroku) + Clojure
Who wouldn't love to work on something like this?
I wonder if Clojure is superseding Common Lisp as the "handyman's Lisp". I've been using it recently to toy around with various AI ideas I've had for a while, and I'm rather enjoying the elegance and clarity of the language.
Has anyone else been working with Clojure this month?
