Title:
How to explain Data-Oriented programming to non-Clojure developers

Abstract:
In this workshop we will explore strategies and methods for explaining the benefits of Data-Oriented programming (a.k.a just use maps) to non-Clojure developers.
In addition to the need of finding the appropriate library for persistent data structures, we need to think also about the integration of persistent data structures into an existing code base and how to overcome cultural habits of developers.
