Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, our topic is: "Parentheses! Parentheses! Parentheses!" We defend the lowly parentheses, and discuss the benefits of having this stalwart shepherd dutifully organizing our code.

Selected quotes:

"I'm converting my visual cues into audio information."
"Parentheses are like dust bunnies that have stacked up over time."
"Pounds of parentheses."
"The parenthesis is greatly misunderstood."
"Parentheses make the grammar of the language incredibly simple."
"I've never seen that in math, at least not in normal math."
"If you have 15 close parentheses, you might have to do some refactoring."
"Parentheses are the hugs your program needs."
"Peace, Love, Parentheses."
