Ready Set Clojure!

With Clojure on the rise it is time you learned how to properly wield your parens. Join Aaron as he walks you through building software with Clojure. You will walk through a real world example; building a library for working with Redis. Building beautiful abstractions on top of data has always been the lisp way, and this example will be no different. You will walk away with a better understanding of Clojure, interfacing with external services, and gain situational knowledge of when and how to use Clojure's macros to help you produce more powerful abstractions.
Aaron Bedra is the application security lead at Groupon. He is the co-author of Programming Clojure, Practical Software Security, and another upcoming Pragmatic Press book.

it depends on what you call an IDE. Things like syntax highlighting, hotkeys to load your code in the interpreter, viewing debugging information inside the source code, intelligent auto-completion etc are still very handy when it comes to programming.
When you only mean programs like Visual Studio or Eclipse with the term IDE, then I agree. Too often they offer features that are only there because the language you wish to use is badly designed.

Great presentation by Aaron Bedra. I would like to have the windows switched (code in large window, speaker in small) and addition of captioning (the RUclips automatic transcription is not useful).

Getting started with Clojure, very fascinating stuff!
I don't quite understand what an IDE is good for when you have cool stuff like Leiningen.
