About ClojurePatterns.com

Patterns & architectures in idiomatic Clojure

ClojurePatterns.com focuses on the intent → structure → consequences of patterns and architectures implemented in Clojure, with concise explanations and code you can run today—no popups, no ad networks, no fluff.

Our Mission

Help Clojure engineers design better systems by surfacing proven patterns and trade-offs—clearly, concisely, and with runnable examples.

  • Code-first: Every concept is paired with code, diagrams, and “when not to use”.
  • Language-aware: We cover idioms unique to each ecosystem, not just GoF classics.
  • Practical architecture: Microservices, streaming, EIP, data modeling, and more as they relate to Clojure systems.
  • AI-aware: We acknowledge modern AI tooling and call out where automation helps—or hurts—good design and Clojure code quality.
  • Open access: Pages are fast, readable, and free of ad networks or cross-site tracking.

What we publish

  • Pattern explainers with UML & intent
  • Language-specific idioms and anti-patterns
  • Architecture guides & trade-off matrices

Editorial Standards & Transparency

Accuracy & Sources

We favor primary sources (language specs, official docs, seminal papers) and real-world implementations. Where AI-assisted tools are used for research or first drafts, every guide is reviewed, tested, and edited by humans before publication.

  • Versioned language features & APIs
  • Clear assumptions and constraints
  • Corrections welcomed via email

Privacy & Independence

No ads. No popups. No cross-site tracking. Our companion product, Mastery™ Tech Exam Prep, supports ongoing development without compromising editorial control.


How We Build a Guide

  1. Define the pattern’s intent, applicability, and consequences.
  2. Create clear class/sequence diagrams (when helpful).
  3. Implement minimal, runnable examples in multiple languages.
  4. Document trade-offs, edge cases, and anti-patterns.
  5. Add knowledge checks and links to deeper reading.

FAQ

Yes. We don’t run ad networks or cross-site tracking. Pages are fast, readable, and privacy-respecting.

The lexicon teaches patterns and architecture. Mastery™ turns that knowledge into exam-ready skills via scenarios, PBQs, and analytics (CompTIA, cloud certs, CISSP, coding interviews).

We sometimes use AI-assisted tools to explore variants, refactor code, or draft examples. Final articles, diagrams, and explanations are always curated, verified, and edited by humans to ensure accuracy and consistency with our editorial standards.

Absolutely—email info@tokenizer.ca with specific suggestions or corrections. We review and update guides on a rolling basis.
