Post your questions and comments below. Thank you!
For anyone interested in looking further into using Vaadin and Clojure there’s an article I wrote some time ago:
https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Using+Vaadin+and+TouchKit+with+Clojure
I’ll update the example to the latest TouchKit.
To become a bit more inspired about Clojure, I can recommend the two-part video “Clojure for Java developers” on youtube
part1
part2
After that there are plenty more lectures from Rich Hickey, the creator of Clojure, at
infoq.com
. And of course,
clojure.org
is the main site for Clojure.
Hope you enjoyed the show! 
And here is some further information if you got interested about Groovy:

My favourite resource for good examples of what
Groovy
is capable of is mrhaki’s blog "
Groovy Goodness
"
http://mrhaki.blogspot.fi/search/label/Groovy%3AGoodness
. He has also released the book "
Groovy Goodness Notebook
" (
https://leanpub.com/groovy-goodness-notebook
) which even has more “hidden” features and Groovy gems. Strongly recommended!
