How to use loop/recur in Clojure: with a practical example!

In this video let's talk about the most powerful looping mechanism in Clojure: loop & recur. It's not something you have to use daily but one time could save your life (maybe during a coding interview).
We will also talk about tail call optimization (TCO) and will implement a practical example from 4clojure to check if we got a sequence of balanced brackets: 4clojure.oxal....

Thanks! It’s surprisingly fun matching brackets. 😀

Hi Andrey!
I wanted to know why don't Lot of Big tech companies use Clojure and tend to prefer Go, python, java etc.
Is it because of :
The learning curve?
Or the readability (due to lots of parentheses)?
Comparatively smaller community size or 3rd party packages?

There is a job opening at Docker right now, Clojure have been (is being) used at Cisco, NuBank is a great user of Clojure, and these are just the first that came to my mind without any thinking effort ;)

Hi, that could be an interesting topic to start on Reddit or maybe there is something similar already. My assumption is that it's just more convenient to hire Java/python/go devs on a larger scale. But said that Clojure sometimes appears in big tech as well, I know some examples of bits of Clojure in Amazon, Apple was hiring Clojure dev a couple years ago, etc. Also for smaller companies/startups the development cycle speed is more important so an efficient language like Clojure becomes more valuable :)
