I only know about that book because of Rich's mentions of it.
To be honest, I"m also a little surprised that the Pickaxe book is in the list. Not that Ruby isn't the bees knees; it just didn't strike me as being influential on Clojure.
- charrington 17y agoI, too, am surprised that Java Concurrency in Practice is missing. Rich has mentioned several times. Odd. As for the Ruby influence, Rich mentioned that he is a "language nerd" and learns all kinds of languages. Whether any one language shows up in some way in Clojure is another matter ;-) I think the Ruby influence shows up in Clojure's ease of scripting Java, cutting through the ceremony to get things done in minimal code.
- richhickey 17y agoI'm sure I selected it, but I didn't realize it hadn't gone into the list. Now fixed - thanks.
