Re: what internet communities did you old-timers use to learn/discuss lambda topics?

I kind of misread this at first and thought you were looking for tools/resources for teaching people about them, not communities, and was going to reccomend 
http://nathansjslessons.appspot.com/  which helped me grok JS, and higher order functions as a kind of side effect.

Not what you're actually looking for, but a decent reference for anyone who feels weak on JS or for teaching some functional topics.

hi guys, i'm looking for a community on the internet somewhere which is friendly to newbish long-form discussion about clojure, functional programming, monads.

any recommendations? 

some of the best spots are hard to find, which is why i'm asking here instead of just slamming my questions into comp.lang.clojure. discussion-oriented questions unfortunately tend to get moderated on stackoverflow.

side note, Hunter H and I were talking about a month ago about doing a casual, loosely-organized mailing-list based discussion/study of SICP and lamba topics in general. Is this of interest to anyone? If there is interest I'll set up a new mailing list and start throwing out questions & discussion points and we'll see what happens, or maybe there are places on the internet where we can join an existing community. where did some of you old-timers learn your stuff?
