Clojure Wiki

Here's the wiki:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Clojure_Programming/Tutorials_and_Tips

I have experience in many, many languages, starting with Turbo C, C++, writing TSRs in DOS to VB, C# and now Java. My all-time favorite, of course, is Python!
But this is related to Lisp, and is intimidating, to say the very least. If you know about the various notations like prefix and postfix, that is kind of what it looks like.
So an expression to add two numbers (yeah, integers or whatever) might look like this in most languages:
x + y
But in Clojure, it looks like this:
(+ x y)
Oh well ... long way to go, but functional programming seems to be very interesting, and I think its worth learning this language for it.
