For some time I wanted to dab into functional programming and see how different it is from the procedural approach. Since three of my colleagues at Tradeo.com are Clojure masters (one of them wrote the Clojure Style Guide, CIDER and Projectile, and the other teaches Clojure to CS students), it looked like the obvious choice. Although there are other functional languages worth exploring, I realized that there is something special about Clojure, that made me commit to studying it in depth.

Because you learn a new programming language through your fingers, I decided to solve as many problems as I can from 4Clojure. So here is my repo with the solutions. What’s great about the site is that after you solve a problem, you can see how other people have solved it. I have subscribed to some of the top users, and it is a great way to learn how to write idiomatic Clojure.
