Thank you for your extremely helpful critique. By the way, please go to http://www.GettingClojure.com, a web site that I started and contributed to, which nobody (except Sean Cornfeld) expressed any interest in. I announced GettingClojure.com on this forum, which nobody encouraged, contributed to, or endorsed as a good idea. (I'd be willing to transfer the domain to the right person--even more, I'd like to see the site be a good place for newcomers to go.) BTW, a guy named David Sletten contributed 29 (I counted them) entries to a fledgling Clojure Cookbook, which made a good start on what could be a good newcomer resource. And I did say that I wrote an article about a nontrivial aspect of Clojure that I found *no* documentation or hints about anywhere on the Internet? See http://pragprog.com/magazines/2010-11/getting-clojure if you're interested; its real title is "Extending Java Classes Using Proxy." (I invite feedback on this, as well.) Yes, a few people have been helpful, but is it any surprise that I have called the Clojure community "newcomer-hostile"? (See my post, which is part of this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/f97699164e9be29e/a9b91350905109b1?lnk=gst&q=Gregg+Williams#a9b91350905109b1 ) For future reference: I invite you to be less dismissive of someone who would like to be of help. To quote from the abovementioned thread: > I hope you can see that I'm saying these things only because I *want* > to see Clojure succeed. The community's "we're-all-experts-here" > mindset is driving newcomers away. (By all right, I should have been > one of them--but I'm an extremely stubborn cuss.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
