I have to say this made me feel better that I'm not a wizard in Clojure. If one could be said to be "in love" with a programming language, that would be where I am at with clojure in terms of feelings. But I've only scratched the surface. I sometimes sit and watch the #clojure channel on freenode, and I find it inspiring, interesting, entertaining, and disheartening all at once. Inspiring because I get to see the people who write the awesome software and write the terrific books interacting, and I'll be danged, they are kind and good people! Interesting because of the problems they are working on and discuss, asking each other for advice or just plain help. Entertaining because they aren't just kind and good, they are also lighthearted sometimes very funny. Disheartening because sometimes I look at the pastebin code, or the code they message to the clojurebots, and I am left scratching my head. However, having read this "oldtimer's" post, I'm inspired to know that it's OK to not become a master in programming in 24 hours.
