Clojure for the Brave and true

   Same! I think I acquired 2-3 books that I tried to slog through in order to understand Clojure, but never really clicked until I bought and went through "Clojure for the Brave and True", which somehow made it click. Also available for free online, highly recommend: https://www.braveclojure.com/

   This call for arms reminds me of https://www.braveclojure.com/ which was also a definite inspiration for me.

   I find Lisp particularly powerful as well. We use Clojure on a daily basis, and the guide that helped us a lot in getting started was Brave Clojure -- https://www.braveclojure.com/ -- going through it was fun and didn't take long. In my experience though LLM tools don't have much difficulty writing Lisp any more than other languages. However, when they hallucinate it's pretty bad: either spitting something completely off-mark, or mixing up params (and other hard to detect details), so that might be the struggle you're wondering about.

   Clojure for the Brave and True by Daniel Higginbotham is a truly great resource to learn Clojure. I highly recommend it. It is also free online [0].

   Clojure for the Brave and True[0] is what introduced me to Emacs. Getting a job writing Clojure(script) cemented my use of it.
