It took me three attempts with clojure. It took me eight attempts with scheme/common-lisp. So I failed seven times. But I never thought, that it was the fault of others. It was mine and mine alone. I wasn't ready for it. So I did other things. I came back. And then it worked. If you do not come back, you do not want it enough. This may sound harsh or very much self absorbed. But not `ridiculous'. I think clojure's documentation is excellent. But I read and reread it hundreds of times. Besides the beautiful clojure.contrib stuff, I see no need for other tools. But of course, you need to use a descent text editor and learn it well. And you need to use a cmdline and learn it well. And you need to have a lot of Java and JVM experience. And all that takes a lifetime. And I am still a novice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
