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

I also vote for static analysis. People have combined static analysis with data mining to predict software defects. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=data+mining+software+defects&btnG=Search&as_sdt=2000&as_ylo=&as_vis=0 However, it doesn't look like anyone's tried it with any functional la

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

Predicate dispatch would be an interesting topic. The #1 problem with predicate dispatch is method ordering. Predicate dispatch as described in the orignal paper [http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/pubs/ dispatching-ecoop98-abstract.html] decides what order to used based on implication betwe

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

How about static analysis? Plenty of interesting problems there. For example: 1. detect incorrect uses of transients (those that would certainly lead to exceptions) and report them during compile-time. 2. related to (1), but different: detect places where the compiler can implicitly convert colle

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

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

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

Most of the distributed Clojure work is based on running Clojure on a distributed JVM package. Here's a link on Clojure + Terracotta. I have heard mention of other solutions as well, I just don't recall them. http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/9a9690947617906/6bc50fb45ca

Hi We're two students that have been working with concurrent programming languages (Erlang and Clojure), and while both languages are very interesting, we would like to work on something related to Clojure in our masters thesis. I once asked on #clojure for ideas, and Rich Hickey suggested lookin
