Re: Call for masters thesis ideas (possibly related to Clojure)

(0) Create a toolkit to run multiple parallel, tightly communicating clojure apps on google-app engine, simulating a single, long-running, multithreaded JVM instance that does not appear, to the user, to be limited by the constraints of GAE's java implementation (e.g. single threading, shared refs

Re: Image scaling libraries. Request for recommendations

In my experience, the "headless" suggestion works fine when running Tomcat6 where apps make use underlying graphics functionality and end up accidentally creating an X display. You have to make sure java gets the option before it attempts to open any displays -- which might happen well before the c

Is there something special about haskell, or could "verifiability announcements" happen for purely functional Clojure programs too?

Executive summary: seems like big announcements of "provably correct software" would be easier to achieve in Java+Clojure than for C/Haskell used in the current "big news" regarding a provably secure kernel. However, give

Re: Parallel garbage collection worthwhile?

Although the "Garbage-First garbage collector" would be quite useful for Clojure, here I confirming that the new "G1" garbabe collector is "still in beta" at least for a "comparative use case" (using velocity/groovy/jPython in Xwiki, but not Clojure). Is anybody having success with theis GC in Cloj

easy way to get Closure doing serious web apps?

(assuming you agree that xwiki-backed sites like http://www.idiva.com , http://www.curriki.org or http://www.bestventes.com constitute "serious web apps"...) On the Xwiki devs list, I inquired: http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2009-July/013763.html about using Clojure as a scripting language
