Functional, Dynamic, and Built for Production: Why Clojure and Datomic Excel in Real-World Systems

Functional programming is often seen as the domain of academic or hobbyist experimentation, but Clojure and Datomic challenge this perception. Built with production in mind, Clojure offers the flexibility of a dynamically typed language while maintaining the rigor and composability of functional paradigms. Paired with Datomic’s immutable, time-aware data model, this stack powers some of the world’s most demanding systems, from fintech to e-commerce. This talk explores how Clojure and Datomic overcome traditional concerns about dynamic typing and functional programming, delivering unmatched developer productivity and system resilience in production environments.

OBJECTIVES

Attendees will learn why Clojure and Datomic are ideal for real-world systems, combining dynamic flexibility with functional reliability.

AUDIENCE

software architects and engineers evaluating tools for production systems.
