Clojure examples

2017-10-07 Thread John M. Switlik
I am newly registered, having just been reminded of Clojure by an article in the CACM. https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2017/10/221326-a-large-scale-study-of-programming-languages-and-code-quality-in-github/fulltext Clojure, and its functional buddies, rated well. Too, I have been thinking

Context: STEM with quality gets the heads out of silicon. Clojure will be the central enabler. Just like we have diversity in human affairs, so too ought computing be multi (disciplinary, hetero, …). https://www.quora.com/What-could-boost-Clojure-adoption/answer/John-M-Switlik Funny thing. I

James, Thanks. I saw a writeup mentioning Leiningen that I will go back to. It is not the 'toy' issue that concerns me. It is that all sorts of browsers exist as well as a whole slew of different types of users. And, if I am going to push something down to a remote device, I want to expect that i

Hey, clojure world, your work got this old Lisp guy excited. Keep up the good work. It has been three weeks so far since I first saw the paper showing clojure as being (well, they said marginally, but I think more) better (in a quality sense) than most. What I have seen in terms of usage, and poten

Thanks. I have been using clojure, as an example, on discussions on Quora. In essence, extrapolating from Lisp, pre-web, to clojure. Now, is that a huge leap? I don't expect so. I saw the approximation of something built on Lisp re-done (or attempted, anyway) via objective-C. The trade offs were ob
