Hi, just wanted you folks know I've put up a Clojure version of my "Casting SPELs" tutorial on macros. I want to thank Wei-Ju Wu for putting it together, with new code and a nicely updated text.
http://www.lisperati.com/clojure-spels/casting.html That being said... my "Casting SPELs" tutorial is getting rather long in the tooth (There's a new one in my upcoming book for Common Lisp http://nostarch.com/lisp.htm that's more up to date, but it's pretty different from my original web tutorial, which is starting to look pretty antiquated). Also, this port is a very "straight" port, and therefore is about as far from "idiomatic" Clojure as you can get. However, it still may be useful to a Clojure beginner trying to get a handle on macros or someone who has an easier time learning a language if they're creating a game at the same time. I'm a a bit of a Clojurist these days, and I'm definitely a bit hesitant about teaching beginners bad habits with non-idiomatic code, though I think it's still worth putting out there. I hope at some point to put together a tutorial tailored specifically to Clojure which will teach better habits, but it would probably be very different from "Casting SPELs" since Clojure poses different challenges than Common Lisp and would therefore benefit from a different approach.
