Ah, a secret gateway into ClojureScript

I've been very interested in ClojureScript since it was first announced, but somehow I've never quite made it over that first hill. I think that may be about to change though:

ClojureScript One is a helpful resource for getting started with ClojureScript. It is not a library or a framework. It is an example with lots of documentation. We hope that by looking through this example and reading the documentation we can remove the barriers that are stopping you from experiencing how much fun ClojureScript development can be. Once you have this experience, we think you will be hooked.

You can find ClojureScript One on the web at http://clojurescriptone.com.

 I've downloaded the git repo and got the "Getting Started" stuff up and running in no time. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a REPL or two to play with...

The perfect language

I was browsing through Planet Clojure the other day and saw a post about "The Book the World Needs." Not to give away the plot, but the missing book is an introduction to functional programming for non-FP programmers.

I'm not the guy to write that book, but reading that post reminded me of some of my early programming experiences, and helped me understand what it is that I find so appealing about Clojure.
