You have successfully gotten me to commit myself to looking into Clojure. Any good resources on learning/setting up, or should I go by the seat of my pants?

I find Clojure Programming (http://www.clojurebook.com/) to be an easy and practical introduction of the language. It often compare and contrast the Clojure way of doing things vs scripting languages like Ruby. After that, Joy of Clojure (http://joyofclojure.com/) dives deep into the whys of the language. Even though it was written against Clojure 1.2, it covers advanced topics like continuation passing style that were left out of Clojure Programming.

There are some great books out there, so pick a few and go to town.
