Developers are discovering the immense power of Clojure's functional programming model to quickly solve problems in domains ranging from social networking to Big Data. Targeting the Java Virtual Machine, Clojure also leverages the Java platform's maturity and enormous ecosystem. Clojure Recipes is a "code recipe book" for this increasingly popular language.
