Introduction

This book’s cover has a bonsai tree on it. I chose it to represent elegance and simplicity, as these qualities make Clojure such an attractive language. A good software project is like a bonsai. You have to meticulously craft it to take the shape you want, and the tool you use should make it a pleasant experience. I hope to convince you here that Clojure is that tool.
