Reading Clojure

Imagine that you are a Clojure novice who wants to read Clojure code, e.g.

https://github.com/joyofclojure/unfix/blob/master/src/joy/unfix/infix.clj

What links do you need for that? The most important one is

http://clojure.org/reference/reader

(Otherwise, you'll be stuck on special symbols, and no search engine would help you.)

Google search for "clojure something" would typically point you right at the clojuredocs.org, and a typical article has a lot of examples - these are best docs I've ever seen in my life. But there are some special symbol names, for which you need to search from inside clojuredocs.org, for example threading symbol, -> (which is great):
