Nathan Marz in Clojure at Backtype uses the term accidental complexity.
accidental complexity: Complexity caused by the tool to solve a problem rather than the problem itself
According to Nathan, Clojure helps avoid accidental complexity, something that would be useful in any semantic integration system.
The presentation is described as:
Clojure has led to a significant reduction in complexity in BackType’s systems. BackType uses Clojure all over the backend, from processing data on Hadoop to a custom database to realtime workers. In this talk Nathan will give a crash course on Clojure and using it to build data-driven systems.
Very much worth the time to view it, even more than once.
