Hi,
I am in Sydney Australia, and looking for a job.

Design and implementation of reusable team libraries using Clojure

Here's how I would summarize it:

complex and powerful object system, several implementations, almost all
mature and efficient, has some quirks with historical roots
- Scheme = small standard, also very old, changing bu
Hi,
Clojure is syntactically similar to other Lisps, but it is its own language
with a unique design. In particular, Clojure emphasizes immutable data
structures and a pure functional programming style more than “classic” Lisp
does.
Familiarity with other Lisp-like languages will make it easi
Hi all,
I'm new to Clojure. How close is it to LISP (MacLISP for example)?
I ask because i'm also learning ZIL (Zork Implementation Language) which is
a descendant of the original LISP. Well, actually it's a 'lite' version of
MDL ("Muddle").
Thanks!
:)

I recall it now - it was Allegro CL which somebody demoed to me almost ten
years ago. I wish I started learning Lisp yet cannot believe that Clojure I
am learning now (and Scala I am actively using) did not exist back then.

The OP almost certainly intended "CLISP" to mean "Common Lisp". While the
CLISP implementation of Common Lisp is a decent platform (Conrad Barski
features it in his book _Land of Lisp_, for example), it is not the fastest
implementation. Their documentation acknowledges as much:

Thanks for the insight and link to http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org.
WRT dynamically typed languages, I have some 5 years experience with Python
circa 2.4ish timeframe. I remember that a practical raw speed was not that
bad, but still was in average like 10 times slower from C++. Good enoug
Clojure IMO is not truly dynamic, at least not to the extent of
Python/Ruby. I like to refer to Clojure as a "dynamic enough" language.
For example, once defined, types cannot be modified by adding new members
(deftype that is). If you want to add a new field to a deftype in Clojure,
you have to r

For Clojure at least, it is a combination of things, including:

Hi,
There are many performance benchmarks showing that compiled CLISP is almost
as fast as C++ or Clojure as Java.
Being a dynamically typed language though, I wonder how it is possible. Is

assemble appropriate byte code or the c

Something along those lines. The key would be to have low publication latency
e.g. articles undergo a initial review in a matter of hours so it
still has the blog vibe to it but undergo stricter quality control.

This sounds very good. It would have to be start up with one topic
(lisp or FP) and if the system worked you could add more topics.

You probably don't want to be doing this. Your function looks like it could

I think this is sometimes called "inversion of control."

Higher-order functions (HOFs), are functions that use "lower"
functions to perform a task. The map and reduce functions are both
HOFs.
