Hacker News was created by Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator, as a place for tech-savvy individuals to share and discuss interesting content related to technology, startups, programming, and more.

Initially, it started as a simple link aggregator, where users could submit links to articles, blog posts, and projects they found intriguing.

Over time, it evolved into a thriving community with a strong emphasis on intellectual curiosity, thoughtful discussions, and quality content.

I'm an avid reader of Hacker News and often come across high-quality discussions from the community. I found that the courses and books people discuss on Hacker News are really good, so I conduct monthly analyses and aggregate the top courses/books found in comments and rank them.

Why Learn Clojure Programming

Clojure is a dynamic programming language that has been growing in popularity in recent years, seeing adoption from many developers and companies. Big names such as Adobe, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Netflix (among many others) all use Clojure somewhere in their tech stacks. 

Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes mathematical functions and immutable data structures, providing a refreshing change for some programmers. In addition, The REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) in Clojure makes debugging and troubleshooting easy, allowing you to test your code and see the results in real time.

Top Books

Our methodology

We conducted this analysis by "ranking things based on social signals"

It's the result of mining the HN archives for references to books and then ranking them and displaying all references in one place.

Ranking currently takes into account HN stories (points) and comments (sentiment, karma, estimated points).
