An opinionated list of excellent Clojure learning materials

These resources (articles, books, and videos) are useful when you're starting to learn the language, or when you're learning a specific part of the language. This an opinionated list, no doubt. I've compiled this list from writing and teaching Clojure over the last 10 years.

🟩 For beginners
🟨 For intermediates

Selling Lisp by the Pound

“Paper late!” cried a voice in the crowd,

“Old man dies!” The note he left was signed,

‘Old Kiczales’ - it seems he’s drowned!

This example shows how to read options and positional arguments from a bash script (same principle can be applied for other shells).

# some global var we want to overwrite with options
force=false
help=false
log=info
ARGS=() ### this array holds any positional arguments, i.e., arguments not started with dash

while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

These instructions will take you through the step by step process of building and flashing a custom build of the Coreboot ROM to a Chromebook C201.

This guide expects you to have a Chromebook C201, and another ARM computer with Ubuntu installed. Specifically I used the Odroid XU2. You may be able to do this on an Intel platform, using a cross compiler. See the sidenotes section for more information.

Setting up your Ubuntu

Install dependancies

Update your Ubuntu aptitude and install the dependancies we will need.

sudo apt update

	; Stumbling towards Y
	;
	; The applicative-order Y combinator is a function that allows one
	; to create a recursive function without using define.
	; This may seem strange. Usually a recursive function has to call
	; itself, and thus relies on itself having been defined.
	;
	; Regardless, here we will stumble towards the implementation of the
	; Y combinator (in Scheme).
