Functional Design in Clojure

Ep 037: What Advice Would You Give to Someone Getting Started With Clojure?

26 min • 12 juli 2019

Each week, we answer a different question about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the question is: "What advice would you give to someone getting started with Clojure?". We trade off giving practical tips for intrepid learners while we reminisce about our own paths into Clojure.

Selected quotes:

  • "Reading other people's code will change how you view the problem."
  • "You're going to get stuck, but that's ok.
  • "REPL driven development is so fast, you'll need to take a break from the whiplash."
  • "Clojure doesn't give you breaks, like other programming languages do with their compiles and restarts."
  • "The best code to use is code that was written by somebody else, because it's probably bug free."
  • "The problem isn't the code that I'm writing, the problem is with my approach."
  • "Try to solve a programming problem that you care about."
