I'd recommend starting with the main (JVM) version of Clojure first. This version is the most mature and well documented. JVM Clojure is also probably the most useful, certainly if you are thinking about the case of writing server-side code. This is because it has access to the huge JVM library ecosystem, which is particularly strong on the server. You can always try out the others once you are comfortable with the language. Indeed, Clojure on the server with ClojureScript running on the browser is a pretty compelling combination for some applications. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
