Hi Tim, Thanks for a thought-provoking reply. Well, I don't need much convincing that literate programming has better outcomes than traditional forms. :) So what's the next step w/ this idea? e.g. perhaps a wiki/list of algorithms, clojure internals, clojure projects that the community

Hi Tim, I found your post very compelling in the questions, analogies, and possibilities raised - something like a Clojure Etudes is really needed to move beyond learning just the syntax and general concepts, and into the next level of skill with Clojure - or any other language. Perhaps that

Anybody else using a spaced repetition system (SRS) for Clojure learning? What about just general programming? How did it work out for you? I've just started using Anki and I uploaded a Clojure Sequence API shared deck. I'm hoping others might be interested in adding other Clojure related

Hi Joshua! I've been using Anki for repeating unsorted Clojure-stuff in about a year. It's good for knowing all the instructions and source code, but the key to success is always to solve more or less complicated problems (4clojure.orgetc). On the practical side I have a lot left to learn, also

I have built several Anki SRS decks for learning. I am building one now on American Sign Language. A Clojure deck would be a good idea. We could put a simple deck on github and make it so others could contribute. What should it cover? Only language syntax? Idiomatic forms (like lazy sequences)?
