As it says on the site, Fogus is &quot;a core contributor to Clojure and ClojureScript&quot;. I wonder why he didn&#x27;t just write a book on ClojureScript instead. Isn&#x27;t ClojureScript already a way to write functional javascript?

The Joy of Clojure is my favorite programming book, so this is a no brainer for me.

So far I&#x27;ve been disappointed by the &quot;functional X&quot; books.. Probably because I&#x27;ve read SICP and much of the &quot;functional&quot; books just repeat the same patterns over and over.. i.e. memoization, closures, map, reduce, etc. Still, I&#x27;m a sucker for these books and I&#x27;ll gladly buy it. Hopefully I&#x27;ll learn a thing or two.. and if I do so, I&#x27;ll be more then happy to share the word about it! : )

Thoroughly enjoying your book, thanks for writing it! It was also great to get a DRM-free copy through O&#x27;Reilly. Please write more :)

I&#x27;m a back end java guy who&#x27;s getting more into JS. Bought. Thx, Fogus.

The otherwise beautiful &#x27;official site&#x27; has a very curious &#x27;feature&#x27; right at the bottom: a glossary of choice words which, on click, pop open a window alert with their &#x27;definition&#x27;. It gets even more bizarre: at least two of those items return &quot;glossary entry for [xyz] not yet available&quot;.

How does this book compare to Doug Crawfords book?
