As others have said, this sounds like you need a book on functional/LISP programming. There are some excellent books for other LISP dialects. "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (aka SICP) would be my recommendations, but "Practical Common Lisp" and "On LISP" are both excellent. I don't know of a book at that quality level using Clojure. There is an effort underway to translate SICP to clojure at http://sicpinclojure.com/. > I'm not interested in Java interop or Clojure on the web or Clojure's > syntax.

The example about syntax and white space than writing code "the Clojure way", though you explicitly say that's not what you're interested in. Seems like you're asking for a community style guide. Again, I don't know that such exists. If it does, Google didn't find it, thought it sounds like a good idea if someone wanted to write one - maybe starting with a LISP or Scheme style guide (there are lots of those to choose from). <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
