Hi Roelof,

I start the 4Clojure exercises and I did a little project so I can keep a
record of my solutions. It's really simple but also I've found it really
helpful to see where my errors are.

You can fork it from here... if you want.

https://github.com/erlis/4Clojure

You only have there the first 5 or 6 ones, the only thing you have to do is
continue adding exercises and your answers. This will help you also to
become familiar with your dev environment. I'm using Emacs but you can use
whatever you want.

Regards,
Erlis
