According to this survey math and data analysis occupies 39% of Clojure's Problem Domain. In other words a lot of other Clojure developers are interested in this too. http://muckandbrass.com/web/display/~cemerick/2010/06/07/Results+from+the+State+of+Clojure%2C+Summer+2010+Survey > I'd like to see an efficient number tower in clojure.core, ideallly with > complex numbers added in Given those numbers the community might better profit from a robust solution which does all the right things in all the right places and can do all the basic representations and operations. Something like google calculator except without a DSL (idiomatic clojure instead) and a rational type included (This means one power function that works for all types and all ranges, just as one example, or several power functions which dispatch on type and are combinitorially exhaustive). That we have scientific notation already is an unexpected plus. If all these heterogeneous operations with implicit conversions could be achievable while exposing faster homgeneous operations then even better. > and a library for generic operations available as an add-on. I would add to that a dedicated maths subdirectory in clojure-contrib, since this would ideally be constantly changing. ...Just my 3/2 cents. Probably shouldn't have said anything. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
