I've taught with Dr. Scheme but I like Clojure a lot better than Scheme! My course is being taught in an unusual context (e.g. no grades and it's project-based), so I don't think it's crazy to do it in Clojure. Still, the simpler things could be simpler, not only for the students but also for me, and I want to reinforce the view that this is a good thing to aim for. -Lee -- Lee Spector, Professor of Computer Science School of Cognitive Science, Hampshire College 893 West Street, Amherst, MA 01002-3359 lspec...@hampshire.edu, http://hampshire.edu/lspector/ Phone: 413-559-5352, Fax: 413-559-5438 Check out Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines: http://www.springer.com/10710 - http://gpemjournal.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
