ecstatic earthworm - Section 1 First impressions about fp-oo HOT 2 CLOSED

1.6: I hope the meaning of the embedded list will be clearer by the end of the chapter. I do later show that + can take any number of arguments.

1.9: Both def and twice are symbols. def names a special form (explained later), and twice names a function. I've clarified the text.

1.16: This part wasn't yet about how to solve problems in a functional style, really. It's introducing another language element (apply), and showing what it does. How to think about functional programming really comes gradually by example in the exercises and later parts of the book. How did the chapter 1 exercises go for you?

1.17. Fixed.

1.18 Yuck! That's major. Here's the magic incantation to fix it. (use 'clojure.repl) (Note the quote; it's important.) I'll add this note to the documentation. I've also added my support to a LightTable issue that brings this up.

Typo fixed.
