Hi all, I'm a backend developer with 3 years of experience... and I'm a newbie in Clojure... I'll appreciate any help with the roadmap... where to start, and where to go. I'm so passionate to use Clojure ecosystem as my backend stack. Thanks :)

Some links to get you going. https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started https://clojure.org/community/resources#_tutorials_and_learning_materials https://practical.li/clojure/ The #beginners channel is very helpful. Ask for any help there if you're stuck or need advice. If you are new to functional programming then I recommend you take small steps. Don't try to do too much initially. It takes time to think functionally. Trying to build a small web app as the first task is something I see beginners try all the time. Instead, get to run the REPL and play around. Get used to the REPL way of programming. Build small functions. Compose them together to make bigger functions. Take it from there.

@U04MHD7RZ5H if you like learning from books, https://www.braveclojure.com/clojure-for-the-brave-and-true/ is an excellent book for beginners to Clojure (or if that turns out to move too slowly for your taste there are other great ones as well).
