"but what have you shipped recently?" Looks like he has shipped 14 books and at least 36 papers on software engineering methodologies.

optional clojure type checking: https://github.com/clojure/core.typed/ (not finished, but showing promise)

Depends on the audience, and the implementation of fizzbuzz. This haskell fizzbuzz is great: http://dave.fayr.am/posts/2012-10-4-finding-fizzbuzz.html

The author of this article, Jim Duey, has written some newer introductions to monads in clojure on his new site: http://www.clojure.net/archive.html

Pedantic point: Light years are a unit of distance, not time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightyear

Pedantic note: #^ for metadata has been deprecated for at least 2 if not 3 versions. ^{ and ^:x aren't special. It's just ^ (reader metadata symbol) followed by a map and keyword r…

kickstarters are not the sole way people contribute to projects and communities. ibdknox has created some very popular (in the clojure community anyway) software (noir, korma etc) …

While not addressed to me, i'd like to chime in with some comments of my own here. One of my personal gripes with javascript as an environment is that out of the box there is exact…

Simple: a fanboy is someone you disagree with and would rather attack ad hominem than engage with in rational discourse.

It would be remiss to not point out that noir probably has the strongest set of documentation (both api and tutorial styles) of the main three libs.

> Noir isn't very large None of the main clojure web libs are very large, so this applies to all of them :)

There is no one framework (in fact, most of clj's web ecosystem is not frameworks) that is far and away more popular than the others. At the heart of everything is Ring[1]. Ring is…

And to clarify, grandparent probably wants the terms 'first class function', 'anonymous function' or 'lambda' (depending on the specific usage.)

"If you come from a javascript background, you will have a leg up on most people in terms of learning clojure. You get used to inlining functions pretty regularly." You'd be better…

The other libraries are clojure libs that implement javascript analogies[1] as clojure macros and functions and generate javascript. ClojureScript is a Clojure The Language compile…

xmlrpc[1] is similar. examples.getStateName 41 my favorite part[2] is how only contain elements within. each has exactly one child. Why is it not just 41 ?. Its no surprise that th…

The obvious reason for no Object/Relational Mappers in Clojure is that while Clojure has objects available, it doesn't orient around them. It makes much more sense to treat a set o…

I'll look into fixing then. Do you have any suggestions for good syntax highlighting to use from either clojure or javascript?

Regarding Clojure, while compojure is popular, a compojure centric view of web programming is misguided. Compojure is part of a growing ecosystem of libraries built on top of ring[…

can you cite a source for this please

The corollary to Poe's law[1] is appropriate here: Even the most sincere fundamentalism will be confused with with parody by a cynical enough audience. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/…
