Master functional programming techniques.The book shows you how to solve hard problems related to concurrency, interoperability, and performance, and how great it can be to think in the Clojure way.Īppropriate for readers with some experience using Clojure or common Lisp. You'll learn functional and declarative approaches to programming and will master techniques that make Clojure elegant and efficient. Fully updated for Clojure 1.6, this new edition goes beyond the syntax to show you how to write fluent Clojure code. The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition is a deep account of the Clojure language. The instant you see long blocks of Java or Ruby dissolve into a few lines of Clojure, you'll know why the authors of this book call it a "joyful language." It's no wonder that enterprises like Staples are betting their infrastructure on Clojure. It gives you built-in concurrency and the predictable precision of immutable and persistent data structures. It is a functional programming language that offers great performance, expressive power, and stability by design. The Clojure programming language is a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript runtimes. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
