Clojure Macros Tutorial - part 2: how not to write macros
After having understood the fundamental difference between functions and macros, we are now ready to write our first macro.
Clojure Macros Tutorial - part 1: functions vs. macros
Clojure as any other LISP language is homoiconic: the code written in the language is encoded as data structures that the language has tools to manipulate.
The power and danger of deftype in clojure and clojurescript
In clojure, records, types and protocols are parts of the fundamental building blocks of the language. We have talked about defrecord here: records are wacky maps and we have unveiled deprotocol secret there: defprotocol’s secret.

3 ways to generate Lazy Fibonacci sequences in Clojure
Generating the Fibonacci sequence is a good exercise to illustrate the concept of lazy sequences in Clojure. In this article, we will present 3 ways to create a lazy Fibonacci sequence:
Deep into clojurescript function call mechanisms: static vs. dynamic dispatch
;; this is a workaround: currently a page with only transpiled snippets dont work (+ 1 2)
IFn's magic beyond defprotocol secret
In this magic post, we showed how to make a type in clojurescript behave like a function by extending the IFn protocol.
Clojurescript defprotocol's secret
In this precedent post we have presented the skeleton of the javascript transpiled code of defrecord + deftype when they work together.

In Clojure, the language itself is modifiable
