A delightful thing I notice in their GitHub page is that Clojure seems to be the second most used language in Walmart Labs.
Seriously, Walmart and Clojure? Who would have imagined! I always thought of Walmart as a boring and traditional company that sells cheap goods. So when I heard about Walmart Labs, I thought all their coding must be in C++ or Java or even Cobol (who knows!).
But to see them using a dialect of Lisp like Clojure and Go more than Java and C++ warms my heart. :-)
