In some way, what we miss is a book on co-recursion (the dual of recursion). In my experience in teaching clojure to mathematicians, they very naturally get co-recursion, because they really know how to be elegant and concise.
Is there any very good online resource on co-recursion with clojure? thanks Mimmo On May 6, 2013, at 5:03 PM, Niels van Klaveren wrote: > +1 to Clinton's advice.
