- papaf 17y agoThe documentation on clojure.org is usable and once you're in clojure you can type (doc whatever) to get the documentation for a function. However, its a known problem (discussed on the clojure group this week) that there are many ways to set up the environment and build tools.
- xtho 17y agoWith documentation I mean a) offline readable documentation and b) non-technical documentation targeted at newcomers. Please take a look at the scala site http://www.scala-lang.org/node/198 http://www.scala-lang.org/node/198 and compare that (especially the "Language Specification" and "Scala by Example") with the clojure site. Alternatively, take a look at the offerings of the haskell community -- including Real World Haskell.
- dpritchett 17y agoStuart Halloway's "Programming Clojure" is a very good book but unfortunately there's nothing I've seen online to match it for pacing and quality of examples.
