Clojure is really cool. You can put that in the OP if you want.

Clojure is pretty drat cool. I'm learning it for the express purpose of wrapping my head around functional programming in general. I wanted to go through Functional Programming in Scala, but I felt like I didn't have the FP background for it. What are some good language-agnostic resources for the basics and theory behind FP?

IMO Clojure is "more functional" than Scale anyway. You did the right thing.

Does someone want to take a stab at explaining the ((->) a) instances for type classes like Functor and Monad 'cause I don't really get them still.
