@JohnnyJayJay thanks for the heads up

Should we add https://clojureverse.org/ here? :)

@zackteo great catch, I don't know how I missed :)

Sublime Text 4 with https://github.com/tonsky/Clojure-Sublimed works like a charm for me, perhaps it's worth adding?

👍

I can't find any materials from Attila Egri-Nagy.
Anyway, I'd consider adding it as an intro - https://egri-nagy.github.io/popbook/

thanks for the tip, will add it in
