This feels like a different world. There's a reason for that. The conceptual space of languages like clojure is indeed radically different than the conceptual space of "imperative" languages. Think Turing (or maybe VonNeuman) machine v. lambda calculus. Computationally equivalent, but conceptually very different. Has anyone experienced a sharp increase in their problem solving abilities after switching to Clojure? Yes! Well, maybe not problem _solving_, but certainly problem _defining_ is more commodious with lambda calc, at least to me. I have been working my way through Living Clojure an Oreilly book. My curiosity got the better of me and I wondered if anyone here had some suggestions for resources/ particular tips/any advice for improving Clojure skills. Does anybody have any websites used for solving Clojure problems? other than the most popular ones. Clojure skills is one thing; skill in computing the lambda way is another thing. Lots of good clojure books and websites out there, but don't limit yourself. the 2 books that made a diff for me are: SICP (the Wizard Book): https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html The Little Schemer: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/little-schemer Everything those books teach you applies to Clojure. hth, g -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
