Books

What can you say about this set of books?

Clojure. That's all I can say.

Oh, wait, it's not only Clojure. There are pretty good books in there:
Chris Okasaki's Purely Functional Data Structures, LiSP, PAIP, AMOP, SICP, probably others that I haven't read.

If Rich Hickey read all those books, why is Clojure such a monster?

Exactly! I was asking myself the same thing.

He sells Clojure as purely functional concurrent programming language, but procedures can never be referential transparent (not even (fn [x] (first (rest x)))), and dynamic scope is the enemy of concurrency, and performance.

Am I missing something important here?
