Guide to Programming Clojure For Beginners

So, I wanted to start a blog. But then I discovered that all blogging platforms suck, so I decided to write my own. Then I decided that all programming languages suck, so I had to learn a new one to write my blog.

I would say Lisp's world domination plan is coming along swimmingly.

C'mon, be gentle - he said a big reason to write a new blogging platform was to learn the new language. That's legit - dunno how many file system browsers I have lurking around my archives for the same reason.

Yeah, just kidding. It struck me as funny, because it's exactly the kind of thing hackers do (including me -- and I'm also a big Lisp/Clojure nut).

As far as I can tell, this is more-or-less exactly how TAOCP was written.
