Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing https://clojure.org/guides/faq and the getting started path, then search Slack and other sources for repeated recommendations of real Clojure code bases. Done means a well-known FAQ entry or guide provides a curated, contextual list that can be shared with learners and possibly linked proactively from getting started.

Description

content help wanted

One of the most common requests we see from Clojure learners is for example real code bases to look at that demonstrate good style and usage. There are many good answers to this question (you can search Slack or other sources to find places people have answered this, often repeatedly). I would like to have a well-known place that we can point people to when they ask this question (and/or point them to it proactively in our getting started path).

This could just be a https://clojure.org/guides/faq entry with a guided list of suggestions or a whole new guide that provided more context.
