Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.
A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.
Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:
| (comment ; Fun with transducers, v2 | |
| ;; Still haven't found a brief + approachable overview of Clojure 1.7's new | |
| ;; transducers in the particular way I would have preferred myself - so here goes: | |
| ;;;; Definitions | |
| ;; Looking at the `reduce` docstring, we can define a 'reducing-fn' as: | |
| (fn reducing-fn ([]) ([accumulation next-input])) -> new-accumulation | |
| ;; (The `[]` arity is actually optional; it's only used when calling | |
| ;; `reduce` w/o an init-accumulator). |
