This book is the first definitive reference for the Clojure language, providing both an introduction to functional programming in general and a more specific introduction to Clojures features. This book demonstrates the use of the language through examples, including features such as software transactional memory (STM) and immutability, which may be new to programmers coming from other languages.
Overview of functional programming and description of what sets Clojure apart from other languages
Detailed explanation of Clojures special features
Examples of real-world tasks that are well-suited to Clojures capabilities, starting with simple tasks and moving on to more complex applications
