   I don't think it would be that difficult. The one big change I can think of is Clojure's pervasive immutability (a la Haskell). But even if you've never played with Haskell, I don't think it would take you too long to get comfortable with

   Right, I didn't mean to distract you from the original goal :) The directory would be very, very cool to have as well. Sticking with the watcher/forker theme, perhaps the overlap between two projects' watchers/forkers (either in raw numbe

   I really appreciate this. Even though I'm a daily reader of the Clojure mailing list, some of these projects were completely new to me. For instance, I knew about Ring, Compojure, Enlive, and Hiccup, but I'd never heard of Sandbar before,

    I read it as a tongue-in-cheek riff on many widespread/oft-quoted Lisp memes.

    Disclaimer: I'm no expert on PL research, and haven't read any of the texts you mentioned (bought myself Purely Functional Data Structures for Christmas, but it's sitting behind several other books on my to-read list). That said, the title

    1. When I grew up in Taiwan, I was an avid reader of a certain PC gaming magazine. In addition to the usual strategies and walk-throughs, every issue also contained hex editing guides for various popular games. I could follow the instruct

    For things like cadadr, I just chop off the "c" and "r", and use the middle part to figure out the sequence of car and cdr calls. (cADADr x) = (cAr (cDr (cAr (cDr x)))), which would be (first (rest (first (rest x)))) in Clojure.

    I got excited when I searched for "Edmonton", and saw a result for Clojure, but it turned out to be myself.

    You can do optimized mutual-recursion in Clojure as well, using (trampoline). As with the optimized self-recursion using (recur), it's more work and not as nice as built-in TCO, but this is likely as good as it gets for now, given the curr

    Thanks for the tips. It's probably time for me to stop messing around and start reading the Lambda Papers in earnest...

    Righto. I had a working implementation that could expand 'x to (quote a) and '(1 2 3) to (quote (1 2 3)), but the case of expanding '''a to (quote (quote (quote a))) stumped me. I realize that ' is a special form like any other... except

    Question about (a): How do you handle special forms? I wrote a toy Lisp interpreter in Clojure, but couldn't figure out how to implement ', which I assumed should be implemented as a special form.

    If you've been devouring every bit of Clojure-related writing (which I've also been trying to do), then as swannodette said to you elsewhere on this page, you very well may not be the intended audience :)

    Swank Clojure is a server that connects SLIME and Clojure projects. Its github page has instructions on installation and usage, hopefully that will serve as a good starting point: http://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure

    Excellent. Since picking up (and falling in love with) Clojure a few months ago, I've had multiple "Why Clojure?" discussions with friends and co-workers. This post is short, sweet, and hits all the points I've tried to make (poorly) to o

    What implications, if any, does this have for the future of JVM languages like Scala, Clojure, etc.?
