easy way to get Closure doing serious web apps?

(assuming you agree that xwiki-backed sites like http://www.idiva.com , http://www.curriki.org or http://www.bestventes.com constitute "serious web apps"...) On the Xwiki devs list, I inquired: http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2009-July/013763.html about using Clojure as a scripting language

Re: Parallel garbage collection worthwhile?

Although the "Garbage-First garbage collector" would be quite useful for Clojure, here I confirming that the new "G1" garbabe collector is "still in beta" at least for a "comparative use case" (using velocity/groovy/jPython in Xwiki, but not Clojure). Is anybody having success with theis GC in Cloj

Is there something special about haskell, or could "verifiability announcements" happen for purely functional Clojure programs too?

Executive summary: seems like big announcements of "provably correct software" would be easier to achieve in Java+Clojure than for C/Haskell used in the current "big news" regarding a provably secure kernel. However, give

Re: Image scaling libraries. Request for recommendations

In my experience, the "headless" suggestion works fine when running Tomcat6 where apps make use underlying graphics functionality and end up accidentally creating an X display. You have to make sure java gets the option before it attempts to open any displays -- which might happen well before the c
