This is the “second book” to read on the path to clojure
Once you have learnt the basic ropes and you need to see/think the Clojure way. This book is dense.. at 500 pages. It is challenging + informative
The state management chapter was top drawer.
My only issue with the book is the learning curve. It just takes off towards the end of the book
Part 4 things start getting heavy.
Part 5-7 is where it became a slog for me. Not to say that the topics weren’t relevant. However I must say the world started spinning at reducibles. Too fast too furious
All in all recommended but be prepares to put in the time and code along before you experience the titular Joy.
