Behind every programming language lies a vision of how programs should be built. The vision behind Clojure is of a radically simple language framework holding together a sophisticated collection of programming features. Learning Clojure involves much more than just learning the mechanics of the language. To really get Clojure you need to understand the ideas underlying this structure of framework and features. You need this book: an accessible introduction to Clojure that focuses on the ideas behind the language as well as the practical details of writing code.

Clojure attracts developers on the cutting edge and is arguably the best language for learning to program in the functional style without compromise. But this comes with a steep learning curve. Getting Clojure directly addresses this by teaching you how to think functionally as it teaches you the language. Youll learn about Clojures powerful data structures and high-level...

Early Praise for Getting Clojure: Build Your Functional Skills One Idea at a Time

At long last, Russ Olsen brings his engaging and encouraging style to the Clojure landscape. I wish Getting Clojure had been available when I was learning the language. If youre looking for a smooth transition into Clojure, this is it.

Ben Vandgrift
Chief Architect, Oryx Systems Inc.

The book was a joy to read and is highly recommended due to its comprehensive scope and brilliant writing. It also showcases the spirit of the Clojure community: a deeply knowledgeable but also informal, exploratory, no-nonsense approach to thinking about software.

Tibor Simic
Software Developer, Inge-mark

My favorite sections in the book: "In the Wild"code that is live and used today. Seeing real code immensely propelled my understanding of the materials, far beyond any contrived examples. I wish I had this book five years ago!

Nola Stowe
Software Engineer, Cond Nast

Let Russ Olsens destructuring of Clojure map mind-twisting concepts into a promise of your bright future as a capable functional coder.

Stefan Turalski
Software Developer, BNP Paribas

The perfect initiation into the world of Clojure.

VP Support and Services, Illumio

Acknowledgments

If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to build aprogramming language. Id like to thank Rich Hickey for creating Clojure andeveryone who has ever contributed even a little to Clojure for making myprofessional life just a bit better.

Id also like to offer my warm thanks to everyone at Cognitect, especiallyJustin Gehtland and Mike Nygard for their generous support of this book.

In the same spirit, while authors get most of the credit,behind every book stands a village of people who contributedin some way. So Id like to say thanks to JamieKite, Alex Miller, Ben Vandgrift, Nola Stowe, and Karen Cross for sufferingthrough the early drafts of this book and suggesting ways that I could turn aconfused mess into something people might read.

Special thanks to Jay Martin for his insightful commentsand toPaul deGrandis for pointing out the MAL project.

Im grateful to Jeb Beich for his patience with my amazingly stupid questions.

Id also like to thankScott Downie,Jackson Olsen,Alex Redington,Tibor Simic,Nola Stowe,Stefan Turalski,and Ben Vandgriftfor providing technical feedback as this book went to press.

Im also grateful to all the folks at The Pragmatic Bookshelf (especiallyMichael Swaine) for their help in pushing this bookout the door.

Last and certainly not least Id like to thank my lifelong partnerKaren Cross for her constant love and support and encouragement.And thanks to my son Jackson Olsen for the same and for forgivingme for making fun of The Wheel of Time . Well, mostly forgiving me.

Preface

I have been writing this bookat least in my headfor decades.As a professional programmer who has used everything from assembly language andFORTRAN to C and Python and Java and Ruby, Ive spentmuch of my career longing to get myhands on a better programming language. In my minds eye I could see exactlywhat I wanted: I wanted a language that had the stripped-down syntax of Lisp.I wanted a language that embraced the power of functional programming. I wanteda language that was fast enough to run the real-world applications that I waswriting.Most of all I wanted a language that had all the above and ranon the computing platforms I worked with.For years my imaginary programming language remained just thatimaginary.I spent a lot of that time mentally composing a book that wouldlay out the case for my dream programming language.
