Your last thought is quite opinionated. The other approach is to write the actual code (in whatever you want) instead of blogging ;P

- locopati 17y agoThere's something to be said for starting with a language that has great library support. While one approach to learning is to write from scratch, another is to read existing code and be able to build what you want to build using parts that are already there (less likelihood of losing your enthusiasm out of frustration too). Clojure does have Java library support, but it's native library support doesn't match that of Python or Ruby or Java.
- kunley 17y agoYeah of course decent amount of good quality libs is crucial for learning, because you can see how idiomatic code is written. For me, Clojure has enough. YMMV.
