Gain insights into Clojure’s functional programming principles and Java integration. Discover its succinct grammar, reusability, and wide industry adoption while exploring unique, practical coding examples.

Clojure, a robust functional programming language, employs the principle of pure coding to enhance code encapsulation, reusability, test coverage, and system maintenance. Its succinct grammar further enhances its capabilities.

Throughout this course, you will delve into the core tenets of functional programming. This foundation ensures a comprehensive grasp of the rationale behind Clojure's approach. You will also immerse yourself in Clojure coding, exploring captivating and illuminating subjects that define its unique functional nature. Moreover, you’ll gain insights into the formidable tools that Clojure seamlessly integrates, including Java libraries.

Clojure stands as a premier choice among functional programming languages. It leverages the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), enjoys wide adoption in the tech industry, and boasts a straightforward setup. Its accelerated learning curve has propelled its growth in the market, making it an invaluable asset for learners to acquire.

Many functions that work with parallelism and mutable states have the ability to dereference themselves, which means that you're able to access them. What is this function in Clojure?

What Clojure macro ensures that some code either never runs (if it's never dereferenced), or runs one time (if it's dereferenced), regardless of how many times it's called?

```
(def my-promise (promise (+ 1 2)))
(doto (Thread. (fn []
    (deref my-promise)))
  .start)


```
(def my-promise (promise (+ 1 2)))
(doto (Thread. (fn []
    (deliver my-promise)))
  .start)
(deref my-promise)

```
(def my-promise (promise))
