Explore the world of lightning fast Clojure apps with asynchronous
channels, logic, reactive programming, and more About This Book *
Discover Clojure's features and advantages and use them in your
existing projects * Explore lesser-known and more advanced
features, constructs, and methodologies such as asynchronous
channels, actors, logic programming, and reactive programming *
Measure and monitor performance, and understand optimization
techniques Who This Book Is For If you're looking to learn more
about its core libraries and delve into the Clojure language in
detail, then this book is ideal for you. Prior knowledge of the
Clojure language is required. What You Will Learn * Understand
tools for the Clojure world and how they relate to Java tools and
standards (such as Maven) * Write simple multicore programs using
Clojure's core concepts, such as atoms, agents, and refs * Get to
grips with Clojure's concurrency and state-management primitives in
depth * Analyze latency using the Criterium library * Avoid
reflection and boxing with type hints * Maximize the impact of
parallelization, functional composition, and process transformation
by composing reducers and transducers * Modify and add features to
the Clojure language using macros * Test your code with unit tests,
specs, and type checks to write testable code * Troubleshoot and
style your Clojure code to make it more maintainable In Detail
Clojure is a general-purpose language from the Lisp family with an
emphasis on functional programming. It has some interesting
concepts and features such as immutability, gradual typing,
thread-safe concurrency primitives, and macro-based
metaprogramming, which makes it a great choice to create modern,
performant, and scalable applications. This learning path aims at
unleashing the true potential of the Clojure language so you can
use it in your projects. It begins with installing and setting up
the Clojure environment before moving on to explore the language in
depth. You'll get acquainted with its various features such as
functional programming, concurrency, reducers, transducers,
core.async and core.logic, and so on with a great level of detail.
Moving on, you'll also learn how to enhance performance using Java
interoperability and JVM-specific features from Clojure; you'll
even master language features such as asynchronous channels,
actors, logic programming, reactive programming, metaprogramming,
and so on. This learning path combines some of the best that Packt
has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes content
from the following Packt products: * Clojure for Java Developers by
Eduardo Diaz * Clojure High Performance Programming, Second Edition
by Shantanu Kumar * Mastering Clojure by Akhil Wali Style and
approach This is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to start
writing Clojure programs, making use of all of its varied features
and advantages.
