Don't know, I like Clojure and Hickey, but I've never got much out of his talks.

Seem more like a series of really obvious ideas and some platitudes thrown in for good measure.

Really, I nose-snorted coffee over this one:

  - everyone knows you cannot keep up the pace of a sprint 
  over a long distance race - so they solved it by running 
  a long distance race but just firing a starting pistol 
  every 400 yards - and we're off again!

Fair question.

One that immediately pops to mind is this:

Exactly. Except, ironically, I happen to like only Hickey, not Clojure. Rich has some great mood in his talks, and also makes good articulations.
