It’s not Clojure, but the practical chapters in the book Practical Common Lisp might be a good way to get a feel for the way a Lisp works in a practical application.
- flavio81 9y ago>book Practical Common Lisp It is a wonderful book and Common Lisp is powerful to the max, but note that CL is a multi-paradigm language and examples won't necessarily be in the "functional" style. Quite the opposite, Common Lisp makes imperative programming very comfortable (and OOP as well.)
- fiddlerwoaroof 9y agoWhile Common Lisp definitely allows for imperative constructs, I’d argue that its flavor of OOP is part of the functional paradigm: i.e. generic functions aren’t part of the classes, they are protocols that can be implemented in different ways by different classes. They are closer to typeclasses than to java-style OOP
