It's an excellent beginner FP language. Clojure is fairly minimal and requires learning only a few concepts to become productive. At the same time it continues to see more use in the industry, so it's one of the easier FP languages to actually get a job with as well.

I wrote a starter guide that might be helpful https://yogthos.github.io/ClojureDistilled.html

There's also a free book that's very good http://www.braveclojure.com/




Thanks for compiling such a great resource. I have had a look at it, and will go through it this weekend. I have also been doing some 4clojure in my spare time.

Although Brave and True looks like a great book, its not for me. I would love a book which blazes me through things rather than hand holding me through every concept. I have been looking at Living Clojure and will probably get that.
