I don’t know how feasible that is as a tool lives in a much smaller space than everything you can do with that tool. “programming through Clojure” feels a bit like teaching Carpentry through examine a hammer…
On the other hand, do I think the Clojure community have some excellent ideas on how to program - absolutely. Most of the value I find from the various Clojure related videos are nothing to do with Clojure per-sa but to do with programming. Complicating, simple v easy and so on. I do think there would be much value in a page of programming related resources that the community consider are ‘good’ but I am not sure that is the same set of resources as “I don’t know how to program, how do I learn”… I wonder whether a related page of “how Clojure helped upgrade my programming” might be valuable... > On 11 Nov 2015, at 20:24, Harrison Maseko <lis...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Content idea: Would be nice to have a section for new-comers to programming, > introducing them to programming through Clojure.
