Re: Clojure as first language

As someone who has known about Clojure for a long time but only recently started programming in it, Clojure seems particularly easier to learn by building something with it, as opposed to reading about it. Perhaps this is because the language, ecosystem, and indeed the general approach to programmi

I'm developing applications in CFML, which runs on the JVM. If you use the open source Railo version, it is possible to run Clojure and CFML side by side, sharing data structures between them, which should allow you to refactor, or initially build, those parts of the application that would benefit
