From the webpage:
The following is a cautionary example of the unpredictable combination of Clojure, a marathon viewing of the BBC’s series “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, and a questionable amount of cheese.
There have been many tourism guides to the Clojure programming language. Some that easily come to mind for their intellectual erudition and prose are “The Joy of Touring Clojure”, “Touring Clojure”, “Clojure Touring”, and the newest edition of “Touring Clojure Touring”. However, none has surpassed the wild popularity of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Clojure”. It has sold over 500 million copies and has been on the “BigInt’s Board of Programming Language Tourism” for the past 15 years. While, arguably, it lacked the in-depth coverage of the other guides, it made up for it in useful practical tips, such as what to do if you find a nil in your pistachio. Most of all, the cover had the following words printed in very large letters: Don’t Worry About the Parens.
To tell the story of the book, it is best to tell the story of two people whose lives were affected by it: Amy Denn, one of the last remaining Pascal developers in Cincinnati, and Frank Pecan, a time traveler, guidebook researcher, and friend of Amy.
There isn’t any rule (that I’m aware of) that says computer texts must be written to be unfunny.
I think my only complaint is that the story is too short. 😉
Enjoy!
