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

I think that because of Clojure's resistance to heavy-weight frameworks, you won't necessarily see a "killer app" in the way Rails was for Ruby. I think the killer feature of Clojure is the sum of its parts. At first glance it's hard to immediately see the value, but once you start plugging togeth

Re: [ANN] immutable-int-map

I could represent the map {0 :foo, 100 :bar} as an array, but it would have to be a million element array with a lot of empty space. This would be (maybe) faster w.r.t. lookups, but would be vastly slower for enumerating entries, merging other maps, and adding keys that are larger than the

[ANN] immutable-int-map

This one's pretty simple: it's an immutable map that can only have positive integers as keys. It can be found at https://github.com/ztellman/immutable-int-map. The one interesting aspect of this is that it has an efficient merge mechanism, which means it plays better with Clojure's reducer fra

Hi Sean, Cost is _always_ in mind when choosing venues and we always try to get the best rate we can to keep overall attendee costs down. Depending on time of year, dates, venue choices, etc things don't always work out the way we'd like. Those rates directly affect our bottom line as well for

Hi folks, I've started hacking away at a project to replace Ant by Leiningen in DITA-OT . For what it's worth, DITA is an excellent tech documentation "solution"; when you're ready to move past markdown and wikis to a "real" tech doc system, DITA is the way to

Alex, I mentioned to Lynn that the agenda for Conj#4 was published too late. I'd have loved to come up to Alexandria (especially with the train station so convenient) and kept my streak going - but I needed to see an agenda before committing. Unfortunately, it didn't materialize in time and I

Dealing with edn for the first time

1. In its simplest form, EDN is just clojure data literals. So for simple cases like configuration, just use a map: { :database-uri "some-uri" :another-param "some value" :debug-mode true } 2. You can use clojure.java.io/resource to access resources, but for config files you usually don't

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

I'm glad Daniel mentioned Enlive, because it's a great example of something that AFAIK is completely unique to clojure. It was one of the first libraries I dove into when I started with clojure, and I was blown away. It is such a logical approach to templating that seems so obvious in hindsigh

This is "why clojure", for those who are always asking.

A lot of people who've used lisp dialect languages will get "why clojure". Even then, a lot of us lispers wanted more. We wanted to leverage some of the vast amounts of code that have been written in recent years, in my case, for Java. I like lisp a lot but had sworn it off for many years becau

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

For me the "killer" thing about Clojure isn't a specific library or feature, its the philosophy that the community fosters and the collection of features and libraries that this nurtures: - Simplicity - Decomplection (extreme separation of concerns) - Data-centric code (data-structure-fi
