My Way into Clojure: Building a Card Game with Om – Part 1

In order to gain hands-on experiences with functional programming, I wrote an HTML5 card game with Om, a “JavaScript MVC” written in ClojureScript. This first post starts our journey travelling down the Clojure rabbit hole. I'll share my experiences getting started with Clojure, introduce the language's features and explain why its LISP syntax is a logical consequence of its deep infatuation with simplicity.
