The document provides an introduction to the Clojure programming language. It discusses Clojure's Lisp-based syntax using parentheses, its functional programming philosophy, and some of its core features like concurrency. It also briefly mentions Clojure's IDE support, infrastructure like Leiningen and libraries, ways to get started learning Clojure, and recommended books.

6. Lots of Irritating Stupid Parentheses
(defn concat [xs ys]
(if (empty? xs) ys
(let [[h & t] xs]
(cons h (concat t ys)))))

7. LISt Processing
(defn concat [xs ys]
(if (empty? xs) ys
(let [[h & t] xs]
(cons h (concat t ys)))))

8. LISt Processing
(defn concat [xs ys]
