Talk:Learning Clojure

Needs pages
This book isn't very accessible to readers. It consists of a single enormous page that contains 100% of the book content. Someone familiar with this language needs to split of the logical sections into individual pages. Awesome Princess (talk) 02:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Organization
Some things in the book are organized in a style that is more useful for a reference than for a tutorial. The most glaring example to me is syntax-quotes, which are in the section on reader macros, which comes before normal lisp macros. I think the topic is confusing enough without leaving the reader to scratch their head wondering why anyone would want to do all that. Frankly, the only reason I was able to get through that part is because I have some familiarity with CL, and even then I found myself a little confused. The organization in general isn't bad, but this is at least one instance where it might be good to say "there's one other type of reader macro, syntax-quote, but let's wait until the next section to talk about that one." /b

grammar
The section on namespaces, third line does not parse, I'm not confident yet to change it in to what it should be (clojure newbie).
