Fully updated for Clojure 1.6  this new edition goes beyond just syntax to show you the \"why\" of Clojure and how to write fluent Clojure code. Youll learn functional and declarative approaches to programming and will master the techniques that make Clojure so elegant and efficient.  Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF  Kindle  and ePub formats from Manning Publications.  About the Technology  The Clojure programming language is a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript runtimes. It is a functional programming language that offers great performance  expressive power  and stability by design. It gives you built-in concurrency and the predictable precision of immutable and persistent data structures. And its really  really fast. The instant you see long blocks of Java or Ruby dissolve into a few lines of Clojure  youll know why the authors of this book call it a \"joyful language.\" Its no wonder that enterprises like Staples are betting their infrastructure on Clojure.
