Equally important, you will learn why you might want to:
- Simplicity: Clojure's abstractions are simple and orthogonal. Pure functions, software transactional memory, protocols, and the sequence library let you build cleanly without waste.
- Empowerment: Clojure's practical approach to JVM interop gives you access to the full range of the Java ecosystem, without the pain.
- Focus: Because Clojure is a Lisp, you control design patterns, instead of the them controlling you. Macros and code-as-data keep your code focused on your problem domain, not your language.
