Data-Oriented programming: the secret sauce that makes Clojure system less complex

The main lesson that Clojure teaches its developers is to embrace simplicity. The secret sauce used by Clojure to embrace simplicity is that it treats data as a first-class citizen that is manipulated with generic functions. In this talk, we explore in detail the principles of Data-Oriented programming, how they are applied in Clojure and how we could apply them to other programming languages.

Yehonathan Sharvit has been working as a software engineer since 2000, programming with C++, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Clojure and ClojureScript. He currently works as a software architect at Cycognito, building software infrastructures for high scale data pipelines. He shares insights about software at his blog, he writes technical books, he speaks at conferences and leads Clojure workshops around the world. He is the author of Data-Oriented programming, published by Manning. Yehonathan is passionate about making interesting things easy to understand.
