Indeed, Incanter is a famous project and for a while was one of the best showcases for Clojure. What it does is it implements some of the functionality of R in Clojure. What I am talking about is instead compiling R to Clojure (or Java runt

But how about reimplementing R in Scala? Or, better yet, in Clojure? The best of both worlds.

Generally, no. But when one claims personal experience, how can a stranger judge?

1. I absolutely agree with the linked article. My perspective is somewhat different, however. I submit that OO hierarchy should not mimic whatever properties whatever real-world objects may happen to possess. Instead, when we solve a prob

This is surprising to me. I would expect that I would more easily mis-categorize such an email as spam (than the one without a smiley).

I think Google etc are exceptions, people do prepare for technical interviews there.

Yes, it's basic. But many people who are not fresh out of college may have spent recent years solving a completely different set of programming tasks, and do not have it loaded in their brains. When applicants prepare for an interview, they

Well, that seals it for the Japanese. The question is, what about the Americans. Still controversial, after more than six decades. And I think will stay controversial for quite a while.

Yes, the good old <u>, <b> and <i> seem to be going out of fashion. Understandable in the context of web development, but so handy for a short piece of text like a blog post or comment.

Other languages certainly get better, and many can rely on extensive libraries. That said, why not try Clojure? Best of both worlds, and then some.
