Clojure 1.1 - And beyond
- uggedal 17y agoThis web presentiation solution is the best I've seen. Anyone know if a release exists?
- fogus 17y agoIt's cobbled together from numerous parts: JQuery, Showdown, pres.js, highlight.js (although this is not working properly at the moment). I will try to get all the license niceties in order and put it up on the Githubs ASAP.
- va_coder 17y agoI'm still a Clojure newbie, but one thing I've discovered about programming as I study Clojure is that a lot of programming involves the processing lists. Take Web dev: you have a list of parameters that a user sends to the server, you perform business logic on that list, you send the list of data to the database, and you return a list of data to the user. Any technology that makes performing those tasks easier is a good thing.
- icey 17y agoWell, "LISP" is short for "LISt Processing" after all :D
- cema 17y agoIndeed. And I think that Clojure's (I mean, Rich's) simple approach of abstracting lists, vectors, hashes etc as sequences is even more to the point, more powerful. (Of course, it is not necessarily his invention: something like this can be seen in older languages, like Perl, Python, etc.)
- frognibble 17y agoClojure programmers often work with logical lists called sequences. Arrays, maps, lists, sets, Java collections and many other types provide access to their elements as sequences.
- devin 17y agoA great presentation. If you're thinking about trying this here Clojure thing, take out your wallet and pick up chouser and fogus' Joy of Clojure from MEAP right now. It's the most complete of its kind by a long shot.
- oconnor0 17y agoHow does Joy of Clojure compare to Programming Clojure?
- jamesbritt 17y ago" It's the most complete of its kind by a long shot." Is it even done? It looks like only 4 chapters have been written, which barely cover the basics.
