title: Learning Clojure by reading core.clj
body: <p>I came across the tweet today:  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Start each day by reading the implementation of a function or macro in Clojure's core.clj.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My Clojure knowledge is really basic, I can hardly read other's Clojure (or Lisp) code.<br>
  Can I do well with <a href="https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>core.clj</code></a>, especially I have the feeling it is full of complicated macros?</p>
