This is a cool idea so thanks for working on it. I was going to buy this (as I buy most of the Clojure books that come out) but $48 for an unfinished ebook put me off so I didn't. I totally get why a physical book of this length would be that much (because paper is expensive right now), but I don't get it with the ebook (particularly EA)? I know you likely have little control over this, so it's not really fair to complain to you, but maybe you can feed it back to your editor.
While pretty thorough, that case description is still lacking a description of one important feature - grouping multiple tests that have the same output in a list. Basically this line from the doc string: (test-constant1 ... test-constantN) result-expr Example: (case 3 (1 2 3) "1, 2, or 3" 4 "4" (5 6 7) "5, 6, or 7") ;;=> "1, 2, or 3" I think most people are unaware of this feature and seems like it's the kind of thing you'd want in the book.
