If you missed the Clojure presentation, you missed a treat.

Rich Hickey presented the culmination of many years of work into his new
dynamic lisp-like language.

Not only does it support a REPL, but everything is dynamicly compiled
into Java byte-code on the fly. There really is no interpreter!

Besides performance, Clojure supports run-time polymorphism and an
impressive take on making concurrent programming easy by the use of
software transactional memory.
