holidays.

I have been holding off bying this until it was done, but now it's time to
get comfy and dive in, exciting!
Thanks for all the inspiring talks and great Clojure libraries throughout
the years, they've made me a better programmer in general and a better
Clojure programmer in particular.

A great excuse to go back and read the early sections again. Thanks for
this Zach!

I'm very happy to announce, only two and a half years after the release of
the first chapter, that Elements of Clojure is completely finished.

If you've never heard of the book before, p
Just started reading the first chapter.
It makes it even more appealing that the taught techniques are applicable
to other programming languages as well.
I like the angle the book presents!

Having just finished the first chapter, I must congratulate you with the best
software writing I have read in a long while, maybe ever.
I really enjoy how you discuss naming and only use Clojure as a vehicle to
illustrate your points. The ideas you put forward should be applicable to any
langu
Great to see another book for intermediate level!

It would appear that "style", being a natural name, has an ambiguous sense.

Loved the free chapter. Buying a copy for everyone on my team, for updates and
the other chapters!

that would be a Fine Thing, imo. but maybe you should call it "Elements of
Clojure Style."

I changed the link to the Leanpub one. I think the content type may have
been wrong before, which maybe Android is overly sensitive to. Glad it's
working now.

Thanks Bozhidar. I agree that the "default name" sections can be expanded
a bit, and some related rules may also fall into the second chapter. I
don't think I'll stray too far from what's in your guide.

Seems to me that some more Clojure-specific naming rules can be
incorporated into the first chapter (e.g. like the ones we have here
https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide/#naming). Other than this
small remark - excellent work!

The chapter on naming is brilliant, I rarely learned so much in so few
pages :)
So far I have found the content to be more about 'philosophical'
programming notions than Clojure specifically, but the parts about Clojure
are useful and pratical.
You may want to state more explicitly how this bo
So far, this appears to be primarily focused on style and programming
practice. Is that going to be the primary focus of the book?

Really enjoyed this Zach - well done.
I have _longed_ to write a book using Clojure as a vehicle but dealing
addressing "how to build great code" and you beat me to it. Luckily, a
gazillion books in this space would still not be sufficient so the
door for my work isn't closed :-).
