There are a lot of "toy" cells implementations for Clojure, but as far as I can tell none of them are really full-production ready libraries like K. Tilton's. I'm planning on starting a GUI based project and something cell's like would be very helpful. I may end up building it myself, and am wondering what the community thinks is the best direction.
I have some thoughts of my own. First off, Clojure is not Common Lisp (to say the least), so I don't think we necessarily need to create as stateful a library as the original Cells. I've used Cells-like architectures before in GUI apps (although not as a separate abstract library), and don't really think it is the best way. I'm thinking of a more static, "rules engine-ey" approach, with a small set of input data, a dataflow mechanism over some rules, with dependency management, parallelism (when requested), and support for fixed-point recursion. However, since I'd like whatever I come up with to be reused by the community, I'm intererested in everyone's input. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
