When I first started looking into Clojure, I was dismayed to find that it is deeply entangled with Java (which I had successfully avoided for some decades. You mean I have to learn FP, Lisp, _and_ Java ?!?!?
I got some Java books, looked them over, and decided to hope that I could mostly ignore the Java-based parts of Clojure. This was not a great strategy, to be sure, but it was better than diving into piles of Java books (and worse). However, I recently ran across a tiny (200 pp) conceptual guide to Java that seems to have most of the needed information (and a healthy dose of opinionated advice from a highly qualified source). I particularly like the fact that the author tries hard to explain the concepts as well as the details. So, check it out...
