It did for me. It's that Clojure forced me to learn about and practice new ways
to model problems and solution. For example, I'm much better at recursion and
dynamic programming now. Now algorithmic problems are always hard, so there's a
limit to how much better I got because of Clojure, but

Not sure about problem-solving per se, but better tools do seem to take

yes, but now you are a badass, no? it's the only way.

There's a reason for that. The conceptual space of languages like clojure
is indeed radically different than the conceptual space of "imperative"
languages. Think Turing (or maybe VonNeuman) machine
Hi, Andy.
It took me up to 8 months before I switched my brains to functional way of
thinking.
When I started to learn Clojure, first code was in Clojure syntax but fully
imperative style.
Everything in Clojure was inconvenient and horrible. I didn't understand
why people like Clojure.
But,
Hi Andy!
Honestly, there's something very lovable and addictive about working in
Clojure and lisp in general, but I would caution against trying to use it
as a silver bullet, and generalizing it to improving general
'problem-solving' skills might be a bridge too far.
I think what lisp does do is
This feels like a different world.
Has anyone experienced a sharp increase in their problem solving abilities
after switching to Clojure?
I have been working my way through Living Clojure an Oreilly book.
My curiosity got the better of me and I wondered if anyone here had some
suggestions for
