🤔 functional programming in clojure

in the small
- everything is an expression (everything returns a value, even "if")
- functions that "modify" data structures return "copies"
- use of map, reduce, etc. (over variables and loops)
in the medium
- lots of pure functions
- referential transparency
- higher order functions (functions that take functions, and/or return functions) and closures
- pipelines of transformations (->>)
in the large
- actions-at-the-edge
- event sourcing
- "component" systems
- react-like rendering
- concentrated (and often global) state
