Writing a baked blogging engine in Clojure, heavily using Enlive for a large chunk of it. Many fewer lines of code than doing it in Python/Ruby.
Plus, honestly, it's a lot of fun to use.
Next up is some data analysis: I'm looking into the excellent Incanter for that.
Great libs, great community and a fun, fun language that's practical and elegant.
EDIT: to expand on what I like about the language; it's a lisp, so everything that comes with that. It's also got some syntax that simply makes it more pleasant to use on a day-to-day basis. And so much more!
(excuse typos: my phone is acting up today/can't handle HN for long comments.)
- jscn 16y agoWarning: irrelevant grammar nazism below. > Many fewer lines of code than This grammar bugs me. I feel like this should be "Much fewer" or similar, but I'm not totally sure it's wrong as posted. Opinions?
- ramidarigaz 16y agoMany is correct. Many refers to countable items, much refers to uncountable items. Many apples vs much wine, many lines of code vs much text. I do agree with your assessment of the awkwardness of the phrase though.
- galois 16y ago"Many fewer" should be technically okay. "Much fewer" is definitely wrong. "Far fewer" would be my choice. Normally, grammar nazis at least know something about, which you clearly do not. Why does someone of such low caliber try to correct others?
- dunstad 16y ago"...someone of such low caliber..."? Was that really necessary?
