Another big experiment for today. As new reducer features (continuations) will be applied heavily here, please read 5th experiment if you have not done so yet.
Prepare for the longest write-up so far. Experiment #8 - Computer and Network Resources Most applications perform some file and networking I/O. Clojure leaves this domain largerly uncovered and advises users to use host facilities instead. Dunaj attempts to cover this realm with an extensive and powerful set of features dedicated to computer and network resources. Goals of this experiment are as follows: * Design and implement the concept of resource scopes * Develop facilities for implementers of computer and network resources * Create abstractions for basic resource functionalities and integrate them with the rest of core API, mainly with collections and transducers * Provide implementation for widely used resources * Devise abstraction for composing resources into 'systems' You can read more about this experiment at http://www.dunaj.org Regards, Jozef On Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 10:33:53 PM UTC+1, Jozef Wagner wrote: > > I'm happy to announce a project called Dunaj [1], which provides an > alternative core API for Clojure.
