I am learning Clojure and I like it. Following the ThinkRelevance functional koans has given me a really good interactive playground for learning this language. Reading through examples in a book cannot compare to actually having to write code in order to solve a problem and in the process learn syntax and the rules of a language. What a concept!
I came across something in the sequence comprehensions section that I thought was interesting.
The "for" macro can loop over one (or more) groups of things and produce the vector combinations above. I was reminded while reading this of Ruby's Array#product method, which does the same thing (return the product of 2 or more arrays).

Did you start getting into it because of the exposure at code retreat? :)
Definitely. I gave emacs a brief try after the event but I gave up after not too long. I want to get back to it when I have more regular access to someone skilled in the ways of that fine tool.
