PRACTICAL-CL-CLOJURE

A port of selected examples from Practical Common Lisp to Clojure. The purpose of this port is to explore the intersection between Lisp and Clojure's signature features: access to the JVM and a functional programming style base on immutable collections.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FIRST

Read Practical Common Lisp. It's great. Buy a copy. http://gigamonkeys.com/book/

THEN...

Get yourself some Clojure (http://clojure.org) and take a look at the code in this project.

BEGGING YOUR PARDON...

I wrote this code before I settled on a test framework that I would use for Clojure code. Such testing as there is is minimal, and has been added after the fact when dealing with bugs.

For a more representative example of how I think Clojure code should be tested, check out http://github.com/stuarthalloway/clj-relevance.
