内容简介
······

For weeks, months—nay!—from the very moment you were born, you’ve felt it calling to you. At long last you’ll be united with the programming language you’ve been longing for: Clojure!

As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust and elegant code, and because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, you can take advantage of the vast Java ecosystem. Clojure for the Brave and True offers a “dessert-first” approach: you’ll start playing with real programs immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features of Lisp and functional programming. Inside you’ll find an offbeat, practical guide to Clojure, filled with quirky sample programs that catch cheese thieves and track glittery vampires.

Learn how to:

Wield Clojure’s core functions

Use Emacs for Clojure development

Write macros to modify Clojure itself

Use Clojure’s tools to simplify concurrency and parallel programming

Clojure for the Brave and True assumes no prior experience with Clojure, the Java Virtual Machine, or functional programming. Are you ready, brave reader, to meet your true destiny? Grab your best pair of parentheses—you’re about to embark on an epic journey into the world of Clojure!

评论 ······

蛮好的，简洁明了，但是高级主题诸如并发，STM 这些在 clojure 体系内是学不明白的，Java 是逃不过的……莫名其妙就开始在工作中写 clojure 上 java 的大船了。

目前为止最合适的 clojure 入门书了，如果 2016 年还有人在学 clojure 的话可以看这个就足够了

应该是最适合clojure入门的书籍了

Both practical and philosophical
