title: What is Clojure?

## What is Clojure?
Clojure is a dynamically typed high level lisp designed with interactive development in mind. As a lisp it has features such as homoiconicity, so code as data, macros which let you manipulate the Abstract Syntax Tree of the program itself, and lots and lots of parentheses. This language emphasises concurrency and functional programming.

title: What is Haskell?
---
## What is Haskell?
"Haskell is a computer programming language. In particular, it is a polymorphically statically typed, lazy, purely functional language, quite different from most other programming languages. The language is named for Haskell Brooks Curry, whose work in mathematical logic serves as a foundation for functional languages. Haskell is based on the lambda calculus, hence the lambda we use as a logo." - Haskell Wiki
The above being said, if you perceive yourself to be "bad" at math, don't feed into it. If you are interested in using it and you apply yourself it will work out.

title: What is Lisp?
---
## What is Lisp?
Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second oldest high level programming language in use today. (Only younger than FORTRAN by one year!). There have been many different dialects of Lisp that have come and gone over the ages. In the modern day, some of the most known and used Lisp dialects (lisps) are Common Lisp, Clojure/ClojureScript, Racket and Scheme. The name "Lisp" was derived from "LISt Processor", and the list data structure is at the core of the language. Many recognizable language features were first developed in Lisp; dynamic typing, garbage collection, the read-eval-print loop, and more.

title: What is Svelte?

## What is Svelte?
Svelte is a front-end technology similar in use to React, Vue, Angular, and the like. However, instead of loading a framework on the client-side, Svelte wires everything up during the build step, meaning it doesn't have to interpret any additional information at runtime. However, it's still in its relative infancy.
