Great article, but I'm not sure this part in the keyword section is
correct:
"Keywords exist simply because, as you'll see, it's useful to have
names in code which are symbol-like but not actually symbols. Keywords
have no concept of being namespace qualified as they have nothing to
do with names
Timothy,
Your post is a great one indeed , you have developed a template that
anyone could use to introduce Clojure. I would implore to fresh out
thoughts and deepen it for all to enjoy.

To the debate on whether there should be examples early in the text,
here are my two cents:
When I click on something called "Learning [programming language]" I
like to see a representative example of the syntax early on. If
there's just text as far as the eye can see (that is, the first

You've given some really good reasons why I shouldn't mess with it

The discussion of functions and basic syntax is deliberately delayed
because of dependencies, e.g. evaluation can't really be understood
without understanding the reader, and explaining the reader involves

Thanks for explaining the origin of "var" and "ref". An important
thing you should do for learners is to explain their origin of odd/
cryptic names because that makes them much easier to remember. For
example, no text on C I've ever read explains the meaning of standard
library function names, lik
