I&#8217;ve loved the idea of Clojure since it came out in 2008 but never spent the time to work on it. While I didn&#8217;t finish all the things I wanted to, I did spend more time programming in Clojure over the last 2 weeks than I did in the previous year. Since my goal with personal sprints was to get more done, this is a great validation of the concept.<\/p>\n<p>For the next sprint, I&#8217;m going to continue working on the Pedestal Tutorial and then educate myself more about single-page web applications in general.
