It may also be worth noting that the code in the files section of this
group isn't vetted in any way.  Some may be meant for real world use
while other files may be examples of a problem or be in error.  Just
about anyone can upload a file for just about any purpose.

If you're looking for example code to help you learn clojure, there
are many better options.

The first that comes to mind is the several wikis -- the official
wikibook link from clojure.org, a tutorial wiki, a wiki attempting to
show an example of every function in clojure.core, and the clojure
projecteuler wiki.  All of these contain working examples with
specific goals, and several of them have lots of English text
describing what's going on.

Another good place to look is in clojure-contrib.  Code submitted
there goes through a minimal vetting process and is actively
maintained by people who take the time to stay current on Clojure's
growing feature set.

Hope that helps,
