Other than the official docs, does anyone have any recommendations for familiarizing oneself with using spec?

if the official docs are lacking, would be interested in how so they can be improved

I wouldn’t say they are lacking… but I’m curious if there are talks or more introductory guides people would recommend. The official docs are good, but somewhat intimidating since their scope is comprehensive.

@livingfossil on the official Clojure site there is a "guide" and a "reference", the guide is usually an introduction and the reference is more encompassing (hope I said that right)

aha! thanks!

“All-encompassing” is the usual phrase meaning “comprehensive” but the meaning was clear 🤓

Alex Miller (Clojure team)22:06:06

you could just read random parts of it and then it would be less comprehensive :)

Alex Miller (Clojure team)22:06:39

there are a few talks out there if that would match better to your learning style
