Synopsis

Quickly turn complex problems into simple, working solutions using functional programming, safe concurrency, and the expressive tools of Clojure.

Struggling with unnecessary complexity, unmanaged state, and brittle data that’s hard to change? Clojure combines the expressiveness of Lisp with the stability and performance of Java into a practical toolkit for creating simple, extensible applications. With immutable data structures, functional programming, and safe concurrency, Clojure makes it easier to write robust, reusable code. This definitive guide, written by members of the Clojure core team, introduces the language’s essentials and then shows how to put everything together in real applications. This edition adds practical coverage of project tooling and interactive development and fresh examples of the latest Clojure features.

Build cleaner, more reliable software that can respond to changing requirements over time. Combine Clojure’s tools for maximum effectiveness as you work with immutable data, functional programming, and safe concurrency to write programs that solve real-world problems.

Start by getting comfortable with Clojure’s concise syntax and its interactive REPL, then quickly move into building with immutable collections and the powerful sequence abstraction. Gain practical fluency with functional techniques such as higher-order functions, recursion, partial application, and memoization. Beyond the basics, learn to manage state with Clojure’s reference types, build open and extensible systems using protocols and multimethods, and unlock the power of macros for creating your own language features. Seamless Java interop lets you tap into the vast Java ecosystem without sacrificing clarity or safety.

This edition adds two new chapters on project tooling and interactive development, guiding you through modern workflows with tests, builds, editors, and the REPL at the center of your process. Learn how to set up projects, manage dependencies, and work productively in Clojure’s unique interactive style. When you’re finished, you’ll be able to think in Clojure: express solutions with clarity, leverage concurrency safely, and build real-world applications that are simpler and more maintainable than you thought possible.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
