I just wanted to put a shout out to the major clojure guys out there. I've tried several times to learn the language, but I can't get passed the normal lispy stuff to a serious program. Like a game or GUI app. The reason why is because of something I quickly realized. It seems that to fully learn clojure, you first must know java. You can see it especially in the documentation which is fully java programmer focused. My problem is that I don't know java and I really don't have the time to or the desire to learn java just to learn clojure.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, and it means there may be scores of people out there just waiting to learn clojure but find it an uphill battle. It kinda limits how far the language will spread. Just wanted to bring attention to it because it's a really awesome language. And, I really want to be able to use it, and I want it to be more widespread than it is. You have a Clojure for Java Programmers, why not a Clojure for Non-Java Programmers?
