Understanding Transducers

This is tangential, but as a medical device engineer and one that works quite a bit with Ultrasound, the title of this article caught my interest, but it turned out to be about something completely different.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_sensor#Transducers" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ultrasonic_sensor#Transducers</a>

For those that have a hard time reading the clojure code, i recomend this blogpost where they are explained with js.<p>See: <a href="http://phuu.net/2014/08/31/csp-and-transducers.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;phuu.net&#x2F;2014&#x2F;08&#x2F;31&#x2F;csp-and-transducers.html</a>

I am not a functional programmer and I always find that when I read clojure it just looks like layers and layers of nested code. Personally, I find it visually hard to parse.<p>Can someone enlighten me why clojure seems to be the trending language?

I expected an article on electronics when I clicked and took me a while to understanding what was going on.
