+# Clojure: Designed for Performance
+
+Yesterday I blogged about my LCA talk [[Crowdsourcing Upstream Refactoring|/tmarble/posts/Crowdsourcing_Upstream_Refactoring]].
+Today I gave my a talk on Clojure and performance at [Linux Conf Australia 2013][lca].

+
+I mixed giving an overview of why I think Clojure offers the advantages
+of Common Lisp and Java without the disadvantages of either along with
+live coding on the REPL. There were several great questions and I am really
+pleased that many delegates told me that the were going to give
+Clojure a close look!
+
+Later this evening we have the Emacs BOF and I know I'll find
+a number of friendly eLisp hackers.
+
+If you have a chance to attend LCA I would highly recommended it...
+This is among the best organized conferences I've attended
+and comprises a fantastic group of enthusiastic contributors.
+
+Below you will find links to the presentation.  Very soon the video
+of this talks (and all the talks) will be available.
