Clojure Goodness Notebook

Experience the Clojure programming language through code snippets

About the Book

In 2020 I started to write small blog posts about Clojure at Messages from mrhaki. The posts contain code samples of cool Clojure features I just didn't want to forget.

The Clojure Goodness Notebook contains the blog posts about Clojure previously mentioned on my blog. The posts have been edited slightly so they can be used for the book. The book gives a broad overview of all the great features we can find in the Clojure language.
