Re: Animation libraries for clojurescript?

Hi, I have looked at quite a few Javascript 2D graphics libraries. The ones I found particularly interesing are paper.js[1] and fabric.js[2]. At least paper.js is in active development and works fine with ClojureScript. Depending on your requirements SVG might also be a good alternative. I've

Thanks Gary! My intention is to have an alias, so making a new function, seems to be the best option: (defn dialog "Shows a dialog and asks for confirmation." [message] (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil message)) (dialog "Hello Clojure!") Is there any difference or drawback

While searching for MultiSet or Bag resources, I found this implementation by Achim Passen at: A simple multiset/bag implementation for Clojure. However, I found I could meet my needs by adding functions to treat vectors, or other collection types, as unordered. These can then be used directly,

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

What's "killer" about clojure is not an app, but an idea. Simplicity. Everything else stems from that idea. Immutability, decomplecting, data first, consistent abstractions - all the things we like to talk about in clojure are really about simplicity. It's about getting all the crap out of y

"But something or some things that mostly pushes people to use the language." If that's the case, then building cool stuff is probably the correct answer. And in that case, this probably applies quite well to Clojure: http://paulgraham.com/avg.html On Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 3:24 PM, Paulo Suzart

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

When people say "killer app" what they mean is "silver bullet". The problem with silver bullets, is while they are quite exceptional at killing vampires, they are often somewhat subpar when it comes to dispatching other monsters of the night, such as ogres. Or at least so I've been told by my frien

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

Clojure's killer app is immutable datastructures. Libraries can interoperate extremely easily because their interface is described with simple data structures. What's Java got for this? Spring? Design Patterns? On Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 2:47 PM, James Reeves wrote: > Why does Clojure need a sin

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

Why does Clojure need a single "killer app"? I use Clojure because it has a wide range of useful tools, not because of any one tool in particular. To my mind, any language that promotes itself on the basis of a single tool is indicative of specialisation, which isn't what I want in a programming l

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

One point that makes me wonder is this: One of the points touted a lot is the availability of immense ecosystem of Java. How does one balance switching between immutable and mutable objects once Java objects are brought into the mix. I have never used Java and Clojure together yet since this questi

The 'killer' problem domain for clojure is the same as that of any lisp: the creation of domain-specific languages. There exist a plethora of problems which are awkward to solve using conventional programming, and clojure's macros make it easier. An example is twitter's storm project. It's a real-
