Clojure in Product: We're launching a podcast

There's something curious about Clojure. While those who use it often speak of its elegance, power, and the joy it brings to programming, it remains relatively niche in the industry. As developers who've experienced the benefits of Clojure firsthand, this paradox fascinated us. Why isn't such a capable language more widely adopted? Is there something we're missing?
Instead of speculating, we decided to go straight to the source - teams and companies who've taken Clojure into production. We wanted to hear their real stories, understand their challenges, and, most importantly, ask the question: "Would you do it again?"
Our first guest is Kalle Korhonen, Chief Product Officer at Quuppa. Kalle shared how he brought Clojure into a Java-based enterprise system and built a team around it while managing hardware and software challenges in indoor positioning technology. He walked us through their journey from Java to Clojure, team building experiences, and practical insights about day-to-day development.
We believe these conversations can help shed light on Clojure's role in the industry and its future potential. Whether you're a Clojure enthusiast, a tech leader considering Clojure for your next project, or just curious about different approaches to building software, we hope you'll join us in exploring these stories.
You can find our first episode here, which is available via YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcast. We're already working on more conversations with other teams who've chosen Clojure for their production systems.
