Frustrated with balancing coding and managing?
You're a good programmer. You solve hard problems all the time. So why is it so hard to manage a team? Wouldn't it be nice if someone with experience guided you to become the leader you want to be? Marcus Blankenship has been through it. He was a programmer; now he manages multi-million dollar projects. And he has helped many others through the process. And he's into Clojure! Please support the Gazette by signing up for his mailing list . Signing up iss a no-brainer: it's free, honest (sometimes brutally so), practical advice to make you as good a manager as you are a programmer.

μKanren: A Minimal Functional Core for Relational Programming
Wow! What a paper! I have played with core.logic since it first came
out, but could never wrap my head around what it was doing or how it was
intended to be used. Not that it's difficult or complicated but more
because I didn't have the time to really dig into it.
Someone suggested I try μKanren instead. And, wow, I had no idea it
could be so good. If you're the kind of person who likes ideas boiled
down to their essence, then I think you'll appreciate the work to
uncover the jewel of functional code inside miniKanren. μKanren is 40
lines of Scheme. Each function is explained in depth in the paper. And
it's all straightforward and implementable in Clojure (though you'll
have a little trouble with Clojure's cons, which is different from
Scheme's).
