Write a "learn" page or a guide on IO

Open puredanger opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

This is a place where Clojure relies heavily on Java and having an overview of that would be very helpful

  • streams vs reader/writers
  • buffered and other kinds of readers
  • charsets
  • stdin/stdout/stderr
  • slurp/spit
  • clojure.java.io
  • using read, read-line, read-string
  • printing is probably a separate page/guide and we have a ticket for that, but maybe just a bit would be useful
  • the role of edn

In case someone is looking for such a guide, part of the mentioned content is freely available at https://freecontent.manning.com/dive-into-clojure-java-io/ from the upcoming "Clojure, The Essential Reference" book by Renzo Borgatti (@reborg).
