LuaJit 2.0 is out
Clojure data structures do not have many threads. Clojure separates the form of the data and the way that they are processed. All Clojure Data Structures are completly feasable in a single threaded language.

They're feasible, but a lot less interesting if you're not taking advantage of multiple cores.

I disagree, functional programming is the right way to go without multithreading.

Functional programming makes multithreading easier. This is one of the primary reason people are taking interest in this way of programming.

It got popular for this but generally functional programmers are not fans of functional programming because of multicore.
Rich Hicky for example has pointed this out in many diffrent talks.
