Fully updated for Clojure 1.6, this new edition goes beyond just syntax to show you the \"why\" of Clojure and how to write fluent Clojure code.

It is a functional programming language that offers great performance, expressive power, and stability by design. It gives you built-in concurrency and the predictable precision of immutable and persistent data structures. And it's really, really fast. The instant you see long blocks of Java or Ruby dissolve into a few lines of Clojure, you'll know why the authors of this book call it a \"joyful language.\" It's no wonder that enterprises like Staples are betting their infrastructure on Clojure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Joy of Clojure, Second Edition \u003c\/i\u003eis a deep account of the Clojure language.
