I have been holding off bying this until it was done, but now it's time to 
get comfy and dive in, exciting!

Thanks for all the inspiring talks and great Clojure libraries throughout 
the years, they've made me a better programmer in general and a better 
Clojure programmer in particular.

Just started reading the first chapter.
It makes it even more appealing that the taught techniques are applicable
to other programming languages as well.
I like the angle the book presents!

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

2016-03-20 Thread Erik Assum 
Having just finished the first chapter, I must congratulate you with the best 
software writing I have read in a long while, maybe ever. 

I really enjoy how you discuss naming and only use Clojure as a vehicle to 
illustrate your points. The ideas you put forward should be applicable to any 
language, even though their implementation would differ. 

I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the book!

Erik.

It would appear that "style", being a natural name, has an ambiguous sense.

I suppose then that we must rely on the definition in the introduction, or 
invent a synthetic term which would confuse novices.

I blame computers!  if I ever figure out what's causing this on my phone
(and what the workaround is) I'll let you know so you can doc it.

The files have worked everywhere I've tried them. I've linked everything to
the Leanpub download, just to reduce any change of divergent behavior, but
I'm not sure there's more I can do. Thank you for the report, though, I'm
sure you're not the only one seeing this.

Thanks Bozhidar.  I agree that the "default name" sections can be expanded
a bit, and some related rules may also fall into the second chapter.  I
don't think I'll stray too far from what's in your guide.

Seems to me that some more Clojure-specific naming rules can be
incorporated into the first chapter (e.g. like the ones we have here
https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide/#naming). Other than this
small remark - excellent work!

The chapter on naming is brilliant, I rarely learned so much in so few 
pages :)

So far I have found the content to be more about 'philosophical' 
programming notions than Clojure specifically, but the parts about Clojure 
are useful and pratical.

You may want to state more explicitly how this books positions itself 
relative to others.

Looking forward to the rest,

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

2016-03-18 Thread Zach Tellman 
To quote from the introduction:

> Where possible, this book will give specific, prescriptive advice on how
to write idiomatic Clojure. Everywhere else, it will describe the space of
possible approaches, and provide a framework for deciding which to use.

In my mind, a style guide confines itself to prescriptive advice, and
ignores anything which doesn't lend itself to that.  The latter part, which
is definitely demonstrated in the first chapter, makes this more than a
book about style.

However, it is definitely focused on giving practical advice about how to
write Clojure.  I would hope that the material isn't too surprising, given
the introduction.  If you feel like something is unclear or misleading,
please let me know what it is.

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

2016-03-18 Thread James Elliott 
That’s excellent! I had high hopes after watching your keynote on this 
topic, and the chapter has more than lived up to my expectations. I’ve 
bought the book in anticipation of the remaining chapters.

Leanpub looks like a really interesting platform! I thought about 
converting my Afterglow documentation, and then was defeated by the fact 
that they support only Markdown. I quickly had to graduate to Asciidoc in 
writing it because of the lack of some features I was used to from back in 
the Framemaker days. I really hope they support it someday; I see they are 
working on a competing standard they call Markua, but even when that is 
finished, I would have to have to rewrite all my existing chapters.

The first chapter was a joy to read, and the writing style compliments the
topic being discussed perfectly. I very much look forward to reading more
as soon as it becomes available.

Really enjoyed this Zach - well done.

I have _longed_ to write a book using Clojure as a vehicle but dealing
addressing "how to build great code" and you beat me to it. Luckily, a
gazillion books in this space would still not be sufficient so the
door for my work isn't closed :-).

(and a _huge_ +1 for preferring 'Indirection' over 'Abstraction')
