I've never worked with Clojure and the article does a poor job explaining how it contributes to feature shipping speed. Functional programming? REPL?

I've personally experienced being part of teams that have a "rhythm" and it does make work seem more fun. It usually happens around a big release, after the hard/time-consuming parts are done and the teams are focusing on polishing up the system. I'd be more interested to know how problems are decomposed to support this velocity of features. How do they maintain quality and spend time on refactoring with this pace?
