What about adding circular dependency resolution to the compiler between Clojure -> Java code ? I know, I know - it's not very sexy but it would go a long way for companies with larger legacy Java code bases that may be considering moving to Clojure. Being able to replace Java code 'one step at a

C and Common Lisp versions here --> http://code.google.com/p/boggle-solvers/ Both use the same algorithm and data structures as far as possible. The C version can solve a 1000x1000 board in about 40 seconds. The CL version solves a 1000x1000 board in about 65 seconds on a dual core laptop. Haven

Rich, Is there any possibility in the future of the Clojure compiler being able to deal with bi-directional dependencies between Clojure code and Java code ? --> http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/84bd18b3ceeae0e8 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Y

To deal with the problem the ideal solution would be supporting something along these lines. It's probably inevitable that at some point the Clojure compiler would have be modified. On Oct 15, 12:17 pm, Manuel Woelker wrote: > On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 5:48 AM, jng27 wrote: > > &

Circular dependencies (Clojure and Java)

2009-10-15 Thread jng27
The following seems like it could be a common scenario when attempting to re-write parts of an existing Java application in Clojure. Let's say there exists Clojure code and Java code in the same 'project'. The Clojure code depends on the Java code in one direction and then the same is true in the

Took a shot at implementing PI in Clojure using a reasonably fast algorithm. So why is it so slow ? Is BigDecimal just that bad ? Would fixed point arithmetic be better using BigInteger ? (MacBook Pro - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz - 4GB RAM) (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) (import 'java.lang.Mat
