## What it is
A collection of fill-in-the-blank exercises for learning Clojure, where learners make failing assertions pass one by one. It assumes no prior Clojure experience and can be run locally, via Vagrant, or via Docker.

## Use cases
- learn clojure from scratch
- practice clojure exercises
- hands-on clojure tutorial
- learn functional programming with clojure
- interactive clojure exercises with auto-runner
- teach myself clojure syntax

## When to choose
- you are a beginner wanting a guided, incremental introduction to Clojure
- you prefer learning by fixing failing tests rather than reading docs
- you want a self-contained environment via Docker or Vagrant

## When to avoid
- you need comprehensive Clojure reference documentation
- you want production-ready library code
- you need a structured course with lectures or videos

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, education, tutorials
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: clojure, koans, exercises, learn-by-doing, tdd, docker
