Have you found that it is worth learning Clojure in order to write a crawler? I am doing a side project which requires a crawler and I've tried to figure out if this is a good application of Clojure... or if I should just do a bunch of Perl scripts...
- yayitswei 16y agoIt definitely took me longer than it would have had I just written the crawler in Ruby, but I'm enjoying learning Clojure (and thinking in Lisp), and it's becoming my new favorite language. I'd say go for it! The XML processing is really mature, and I used cgrand's enlive for scraping.
