Where can one find low hanging fruit for open source contribution?

I am an looking for a good, active, open source Clojure library/project to contribute to, but am not sure where to start. Could somebody give an intermediate level programmer a few pointers as to where to begin? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clo

Thanks! I'll look into both of those. On Saturday, September 27, 2014 1:45:18 AM UTC-5, Michael Klishin wrote: > > On 27 September 2014 at 10:34:28, kurofune (jessel...@gmail.com > ) wrote: > > I am an looking for a good, active, open source Clojure library/project >

annotating functions that use destructuring in core.typed

Hi everyone, I am learning core.typed and ran into a stumbling block. When I use annotations on normal functions and run 'check-ns', things work out ok, ;; works as expected > (ann plus1 [Number -> Number]) > (defn plus1 [n] (+ n 1)) > > ;; Works as expected > (ann mult-arity [Number String ->

How should I begin this project?

At my job, I have to meet clients multiple times a week and schedule appointments with them at various places around town. Recently, I have seen a boom in business and while this is very fortunate it has made scheduling tedious. Lamenting this fact, it dawned on me that I might be able to make

Re: How should I begin this project?

Thanks for the responses. I looked into google calendar but I couldn't find anything about this feature. I agree that things can get complex and unwieldy really quick. I am of course using emails and calendars. The problem is that when dealing with large numbers of customers it would be nice to

Re: How should I begin this project?

Thank you very much for both of those emails Gary. Your programming advice rang very true and doodle does look almost exactly like what I need. I'll look into that and google calendar, but now I need a good project to work on! How does one go about getting mentored in Clojure? Is that even a thi

For what it's worth, I would like to see a codecademy.com type site but for Clojure that can take you from 0 to hero, in one place, with interactive tracks depending on subject (i.e. Web-Dev, core functions, key libraries, idioms, regex, encryption, etc.). Something like an interactive SICP to t

Re: Helping newcomers get involved in Clojure projects

Even a tutorial on how to read normal stack-traces would be cool to help take an eager beginner from not knowing anything at all to having a good idea. Sometimes you just need that resource to point something out to you: "this is the filename. This is the line." etc. And honestly, if 4clojure

Re: [Video] Game development in Clojure (with play-clj)

Jame's tutorial was right on the money and following it I was able to make a comparable version with Skeletor collecting magic gems in a desert. I am interested in leveraging Clojurescript and async for browser-game development, though, and while there is a core.async "Dots" game tutorial, it g

Code snippets to attract new users

Hello everyone! A Java programmer recently mentioned to me that if the Clojure community wants to appeal to industry programmers that they would need to provide example code comparisons, which clearly show why it is good to choose Clojure over another language. The same person gave me the follo

Re: Code snippets to attract new users

Pico-Lisp looks pretty cool, and that massive book of yours is nuts. It seems like there is an example for everything in there! About the poor reception in spite of Rosetta-Code success, I can only say that predicting human behavior on the assumption that their decisions are rational, is unlike

Pattern matching and web security

After watching Aaron Bedra's Clojure web security talk, I began to think about whether Scala, being another popular JVM language, had some of the same issues with vulnerability as Clojure. I went to the Lift framework overview page (http://liftweb.net/lift_overview) and was surprised to find th

Re: Books for learning Clojure

I'm about halfway through all of them, and find the back and forth to actually be helpful. First and foremost though, i recommend you go through the "clojure koans" video series on YouTube and get started with 4clojure.com (subsequent, difficult problems will become easier for you as you progres

Re: Joy of Clojure question

Haha, right on Gary! I used the later version of the original function, but the earlier call to the original function. Here is what it looked like in the beginning. This was an example of how not to write a function that looks up indices by value. The example code I posted above was the suppos
