title: What is Clojure useful for?
body: <p>What real world applications are people using Clojure for? </p>
  
  <p>I use Groovy for glue stuff, Java for big systems, Python/Perl scripts for parsing and glue. I could see myself calling into Clojure from Java but I can't see where I would use it in its own right. It strikes me it would be easier to use almost any scripting language for adhoc tasks.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not a Groovy expert or a fanboy by any means but it strikes me that it has a better support framework, tools and a lot of the language constructs (closures, functional programming). The same could be said for Scala.</p>
  
  <p>Could it be that its future is as a language that is embedded in other systems?</p>
