Good to hear you could convince your advisor. If you ever need to defend yourself against claims that Clojure is for academic Lisp purists, show'em this: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42 ("...Clojure is the False Lisp, which Reeketh of the Cube Farm...") It seems that not every "real" academic Lisp purist likes Clojure all that much :) disclaimer: I consider myself academically inclined, but I'm also a professional software developer with deadlines. I love Clojure both in theory and practice! cheers, gert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
