Haskell?

I am curious; for the people with Haskell experience why did you decide to use Clojure? I am asking this because Haskell and Clojure seem to solve similar types of problems. When would you want to use Haskell instead of Clojure and visa-versa? -- You received this message because you are subscrib

Re: basic help with netbeans/enclojure installation

I don't think you wrote what you intended to write. "Enclojure is not yet compatible with NetBeans 6.8. You can access NetBeans 6.8 downloads here:" I think you mean: "Enclojure is not yet compatible with NetBeans 6.9. You can access NetBeans 6.8 downloads here:" On Jun 17, 6:45 pm, Chas Emeri

Re: Clojure's n00b attraction problem

I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents, since I'm a new guy with very limited Java experience. It is tricky getting Clojure to run, but not all of this is Clojure's fault. It took me 2 days to get it running on my desktop running ubuntu 10.04, with netbeans. I still have not been able to get the labrepl

Re: labrepl isn't a project in netbeans 6.8 - (Ubuntu 10.04)

I believe I found out the problem, although I do not know how to fix it. The RelevanceLabRepl project is missing the nbproject folder. A working nbproject folder has a lot of files in it, and I don't know what values to put in by hand. If someone who can create a working netbeans LabRepl project on

labrepl isn't a project in netbeans 6.8 - (Ubuntu 10.04)

I was following the instructions to get labrepl up and running and hit a snag. Netbeans does not recognize Samples/Clojure/Relevance LabReplProject as a project. After creating it it does not appear in the Projects window. So I go to File -> Open Project and click on RelevanceLabRepl and hit Open P

Miscellaneous noob questions

I'm a little confused over when to use a var vs. a ref vs. an agent vs. an atom. For writing small (<200 lines) single-threaded programs when do I want to use each one? Also, since you can use def to change a binding how do I know for sure that some function is not generating side-effects? I mean

Re: noob questions - Hello world + learning

I want to thank everyone for the helpful comments, and no worries about the typing nickikt. I'll check out SICP. I've been playing around in the repl, getting used to prefix notation, and I found out the doc command. It makes learning this stuff much faster. I guess I should have been more clear

noob questions - Hello world + learning

Hi everyone, I'm 100% new to LISP, 95% new to Java, and 90% new to programming in general. Where and how would you recommend learning Clojure? I'm planning on buying Programming Clojure, but until then what would you suggest? I got Netbeans working with Clojure and the default template is this:
