Learning Clojure was difficult and exciting. It changed the way I think about code, helping me to see my data as flowing through a system of composable pipelines made up of small, specialized functions. Soon I wanted to use Clojure everywhere, and was frustrated when I couldn't. But the more I understood this new language Clojure, the more I understood old Unix tools like pipes and Make.
Here you'll find some notes about how Clojure helped me learn to stop worrying and love Unix pipelines.
