"Its kind of like about time". That is the point.
This is just concurrency control, and looking at as time is just a different perspective. (Actually, it is more than concurrency control, since he also talks about aliasing, but anyway..)I find that perspective intriguing. I am not worried that it will confuse people. Ideas and perspectives that don't have merit will lose out to more powerful and clearer ideas over time. Also, I have always had more clarity only after passing through a state of confusion. |

If there's one statement that the history of programming languages (to date) contradicts... :)
Actually, I think I'm reacting more to the slides of Hickey's recent talk about this, which he called "deconstruction" and kept comparing to Whitehead. I think Clojure deserves better than that. The signs of guru worship are already appearing. I would have said that's a bad thing. On the other hand, maybe it's the way to grow.
