Exploring Clojure's Libraries
Clojure is a functional programming language, and comes packaged with functions galore. Add in Clojure Contrib (the community library) and you end up with an overwhelming set of options. We'll explore many of the key functions and highlight the ones you really need day to day.
Of particular interest are Clojure's testing library, the pretty printing library and the monads library (don't be scared!) … but once you pull back the covers, there is a tremendous amount in there! We'll focus on libraries and functions used day to day when building real applications and frameworks in Clojure.
