Re: Regarding lexical scoping and usage of 'let' in a recursive function call

In this case 'memoize' returns a memoized version of the function 'f', which closes over 'mem'. Each time 'memoize' is called a new atom is created, not each time the function it returns is called. --- Joseph Smith j...@uwcreations.com On Nov 11, 2010, at 2:06 PM, Manoj wrote: > I am a n

Hi Eric, Your neural network DSL looks great. One minor comment: why use lists instead of sets? In the webpage you state: "Lists are used to represent a unordered series" ... but lists are generally considered data structures whose elements are accessible by index. The closest representation to

Re: Supporting 1.2 and 1.3

2010-11-12 Thread Stuart Sierra
The "correct" way to deal with this is for users of your libraries to exclude those dependencies if they don't want them. Both Leiningen and Maven support exclusion of transitive dependencies. But given the reorganization of contrib, compatibility between 1.3 and 1.2 is difficult to achieve. Mai

Oracle and Apple announce OpenJDK support for Mac

2010-11-12 Thread Steve Miner
Apple made some news during the Clojure Conj by announcing that Java support from Apple was being deprecated. The good news today is that Oracle will deliver future updates of Java on the Mac. I think it's safe to say that the Mac remains a viable platform for Clojure development. http://www.

Well, a more important matter, this example in the documentation of atom is wrong! The recursive calls will not be memoized if called like that. Running this code clearly shows: (defn memoize [f] (let [mem (atom {})] (fn [& args] (if-let [e (find @mem args)] (val e) (le
