Learning Clojure: Part 2

Well I feel like I've read quite a lot today.

To be fair, I was warned:  http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html#Collections. I don't know how much about Collections I have taken in, but I think I'm getting a feel for them. I suspect its going to turn out to be quite a powerful language, with a lot of potential for combining methods/functions. However the syntax is still looking quite alien.

I've also learnt a bit about scoping, and the difference between a "let" and a "binding". I still feel a little like I'm swimming in the deep end. I like the tutorial I'm following. But it isn't quite perfect. If I think of a way to improve it then maybe I'll email the author. Or perhaps the document I'm after is radically different in form?
