Extending Clojure with Python
Libpython-clj is a library that allows you to use python libraries from the clojure repl. We will dig through the nuts and bolts that make the library tick and talk about some of the potential ramifications of the design decisions building it. If you are interested in building great integrations to other systems or would like to introduce Clojure to some of your pythonic friends, this talk is for you.
