Re: POLL: Domain name for project hosting site.

I'm not native english speaker, so Clojury and Jewel doesn't sound cute to me. :) In Slovak we have very rich gramatical system for creating cute words, even in more levels, so any word in its base form doesn't sound cute to us. So, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it cute way. On 11/18/08, Paul

Ruby has gems, python has eggs, I guess Clojure could have jewels. And Clojure could have Clojury of jewels. So +1 for clojury. On 11/17/08, Drew Crampsie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey All, > > I've finally found some time to start getting the project hosting site > together, and i need a

Maybe everyone submitting new/updated file should announce it on the list in preferred format (with full filename, etc), so it could be fulltext searchable. Not the best enterprise class solution, but working - I've tried it for tsp.zip. :) On 10/31/08, Rich Hickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

I vote for "do-with" too. I used to upgrade my Ruby runtime with Ola Bini's Kernel::with. It could be used exactly the same way as proposed do-with. However, do-with is more idiomatic name, IMHO. RK On 10/21/08, J. McConnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 21 Okt., 17:24, Chouser <[EMAIL PR

Re: Fibonacci function performance compare between clojure and scala

2008-10-19 Thread Rastislav Kassak
Just use type hint in Clojure version and you'll see quite a difference in performance. Your scala version is completely optimized / crippled to integers (maybe even unboxed), so there is no dynamic runtime overhead. IMHO, this kind of microbenchmarks are just good for finding general weak point

I guess you should emphasize it's Lisp thus it has unbelievable long term compressibility of code thanks to macros and metaprogramming. However, it's still 1st class JVM citizen so seamlessly integrable with Java EE technologies and that other java stuff running today. It's exactly the reason I l
