I've previously stuck to C-family languages, and I work professionally with Java. 10 11 To do this I'm working through [Clojure for the Brave and True](https://nostarch.com/clojure), which has a good balance of whimsy (it's not so dry as other technical books) and exercises vs plain reading material. 12 13 I'm planning to build a slack clone using full-stack clojure, since I learn faster if I get stuck in and try something. 14
