Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.
A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.
Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:
| ; In Clojure for the Brave and True (braveclojuure.com), | |
| ; at the end of the chapter "Core Functions in Depth", the author | |
| ; prevents several challanges to build on top of some sample code | |
| ; he has provided | |
| ; This code is provided by the author: | |
| ;; In ns below, notice that "gen-class" was removed | |
| (ns fwpd.core | |
| ;; We haven't gone over require but we will. |
| (require '[net.cgrand.enlive-html :as enlive]) ; This line requires enlive 1.0.0 | |
| (use '[clojure.string :only (lower-case)]) | |
| (import '(java.net URL MalformedURLException)) | |
| ;; The two imports below were not in the book, but essential for | |
| ;; subsequent code to work: | |
| (use '[clojure.java.io :only (as-url)]) | |
| (import [java.util.concurrent BlockingQueue LinkedBlockingQueue]) | |
