I was very happy when SICP in Clojure was announced. It offered to kill 2 birds with one stone. But it has slowed down over the months http://sicpinclojure.com/

- spacemanaki 16y agoOn the other hand, the subset of Scheme in SICP is pretty small, so one doesn't need to invest much in Scheme to read SICP and do the exercises. And I think a lot of the concepts covered in SICP are clearly visible in the design of Clojure (lazy streams, purely function programming and concurrency concerns) and so I think SICP alone is great at priming someone for Clojure. Then I think it would be better to approach Clojure on its own terms, with something like the Joy of Clojure, which seems to be a very nice book from what I've read of it.
