This book demonstrates the use of the language through examples, including features such as software transactional memory (STM) and immutability, which may be new to programmers coming from other languages.

Overview of functional programming and description of what sets Clojure apart from other languages

Detailed explanation of Clojure’s special features

Examples of real-world tasks that are well-suited to Clojure’s capabilities, starting with simple tasks and moving on to more complex applications
