As an advanced Clojure programmer I never look for examples on the web, which is not the case for other languages.

The reason behind this is that since Clojure is data-oriented, API interfaces are clear, minimal and self-documenting. With object orientation or anything that relies on datatypes, I always end up browsing docs looking for what's possible to do with the given list of methods. Never in Clojure.

I didn't look for examples on how to code something, I looked for examples on how to engineer the code I wrote. Clojure just assumes you have the engineering knowledge and that you'll be able to figure on your own how to glue everything toghether and this exactly where I had the most trouble.
