I'd be the first to think that they would like Clojure for bringing Lisp to the "masses". What does irk me about it is that language outputs some really bizarre stack-traces and that 4clojure.com (which people recommended but it's learning curve jumps after a couple of exercise like it saw Chtulu). Speaking of learning Clojure, anyone got a good book/tutorial/demo?
- dkersten 14y agoGood books: Programming Clojure (2nd edition) by Stuart Halloway http://pragprog.com/book/shcloj/programming-clojure http://pragprog.com/book/shcloj/programming-clojure Clojure in Action, by Amit Rathore http://manning.com/rathore/ http://manning.com/rathore/ The Joy of Clojure, by Michael Fogus and Chris Houser http://joyofclojure.com/ http://joyofclojure.com/
- equalsione 14y agoIf you have no prior lisp experience then I would recommend Clojure Programming as the starting point - http://www.clojurebook.com/ http://www.clojurebook.com/ I found it to be the best beginner book on Clojure and one of the best written programming language books I've come across in a while. Programming Clojure would be a good followup. I found that Clojure Programming gives the "how" of the language and Progamming Clojure gives the "why", if that makes sense. Clojure in Action is good, but it is definitely an "In Action" book. Depends on your learning style. I've only skimmed the Joy Of Clojure. It looks really good too but I don't think it's targeted at beginners. Could be wrong.
- unlogic 14y agoYou are right that The Joy of Clojure is for developers with some prior experience in Clojure and it explains the "why" of the language even further.
