• Differences (clojurescript.org):

• Frequency%20Modulated%20Continuous%20Wave%20Radar (radartutorial.eu):

  frequency-modulated continuous-wave #radar #hardware measures distance by the beat frequency of a sawtooth-frequency chirp added to itself with a time delay

• Destructuring (clojure.org):

  neat, #Clojure has ES6-like destructuring for maps, including in function arguments, although it doesn’t support “overloading” (i.e. case dispatch) by anything but arity. Its spec facility might be a better way to do pattern-matching, though, since it supports regular expressions and arbitrary predicates.

• What are the differences among require import and use (stackoverflow.com):

  #Clojure import is for Java classes, while require brings in a Clojure library, and use additionally adds its names to your namespace (but is now obsolete). But you quote the arguments to require and use but not import.
