A dream come true! Thank the lord! I can now have Clojure, running on the JVM, running on the Flash VM!
Lisp has finally come to the internet scene. Beware, PHP, beware, Javascript! Your time is over.
- palish 18y agoYeah, it's just that simple. Game over, all you massively popular languages, because lisp has arrived! The primary reasons to use one programming language over another are its libraries, its community (documentation, examples, etc), followed by its expressive power. In other words, just because Lisp is so badass does not mean it will dominate. That's like claiming that your new amazing EBay clone will be a big hit. In both cases, you're fighting the massive inertia of huge network effects.
- PieSquared 18y agoWell, Clojure has access to any JVM library. And thus has nice threading (as well as a model of it's own, as I understand; I haven't used it that much.) That's why it's getting so much attention. Also, running a VM on a VM was definitely a joke. It'd be a horrible idea beyond belief.
