Clojure is surrounded by hype these days. The word on the streets is that Clojure is the Next Big Thing. It has access to the largest library of code and it proposes a nice solution the to the concurrency problem. Lots more has been said... But I haven't seen a lot of code. So I set out to make a small but meaningful program in Clojure to get a sense of it's potential. I give Clojure two thumbs up, and I think you'll do too. The Mona Lisa Problem The program I present tries to paint Mona Lisa with a small number of semi-transparent colored polygons. It does so by using Darwin's theory of evolution to evolve programs that draw Mona Lisa.
