The Koans are more than "just" examples.  They are designed to  
demonstrate one concept at a time and are arranged so that each  
example builds on the previous ones.

Actually, the Ruby Koans were very much inspired by the question/ 
answer style of the "Little Lisper".  So now it has come full circle  
back to the Lisp world.

At one point in time I was considering putting together a set of  
Clojure koans, but got sidetracked with the SICP study. I discovered I  
can't learn Scheme and learn Clojure at the same time, so Clojure  
Koans are on hold for the moment.  If anyone wants to run with the  
idea, feel free.
