something refreshing about clojure

I know it doesn't really mean anything in terms of the underlying complexity of the language/implementation, but there's something really refreshing about this:

stechert@kirin in ~ [20242] $ port contents gcc42 | wc -l
    4257
stechert@kirin in ~ [20243] $ port contents erlang | wc -l
    8176
stechert@kirin in ~ [20244] $ port contents ghc | wc -l
    3998
stechert@kirin in ~ [20245] $ port contents python30 | wc -l
    3604
stechert@kirin-2 in ~ [20246] $ port contents clojure | wc -l
       4

A heartfelt thanks to whomever felt it was necessary to take the time not to pollute my disk.

Personally, the thing that makes me curious about Clojure is that it manages to be a dynamic language with (apparently) no *need* for InvokeDynamic.
