First look at Clojure.core.typed

Since no one has said anything about it -- I really admire the willingness to post a recording of oneself attempting to use someone else's code. A lot of people would shy away from this because viewers might have arbitrary unrelated criticism ("you type so slow!"). This type of thing could be really useful to authors who can notice if a certain concept isn't grasped right away or if documentation didn't immediately solve someone's need.

This is used regularly in UX labs with two-way mirrors and cameras watching how users interact with design -- why should it not be useful to programming as well?

Ooh god now I'm going to be self conscious about my typing. But seriously I was mainly just worried that Ambrose (the brains behind core.typed) might take it the wrong way. Many of the problems I had could've been avoided if I'd just taken my time and read the docs, and I don't mean for my failing to reflect poorly on his library. He took it like a champ though and released a patch fixing a few issues I hit the same night I posted.
