I admire Rich Hickey and Stuart Halloway and I've been reading the prag programmer book on Clojure, but I still haven't been able to wrap my head around why I should replace my preferred language - Ruby - with Clojure.
I understand that if I was building a database, or a traffic control system or something with lots of concurrency, it's useful.
But if I'm building a web app, the appserver and database handle the concurrency issues for me.
So I haven't quite understood why Clojure is so important.
