Well, SLIME is the UI; swank is its protocol. I'm by no means an emacs user (and therefore no authority on the subject), but AFAICT SLIME and swank are probably tied at the hip forever. There is nrepl.el, which looks to be working towards

I probably won't get into anything as nuanced as concurrency in a screencast format. We certainly get into it in detail in the book. The presentation that Rich Hickey did some years back is still relevant though (helpfully linked by spacem

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to have been able to take a second swing at the content. I hope you find it helpful.

ClojureBox is unsupported at this point AFAIK. If you want to stick with emacs, then using it in conjunction with SLIME and Leiningen has never been easier: http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Getting+Started+with+Emac... If you're not co

Yes, it will be recorded. Of course, that won't help you troll me in Q&A, etc. ;-)

I kicked the heroku dyno. Seems to work now. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to dig into the cause. (Had been hosting the Atlas on Elastic Beanstalk until last week; I guess the kinks aren't out yet.)

FWIW, the book does not make any assumptions about the reader's understanding or prior awareness of functional programming. At the same time, I hope we made the narrative interesting and entertaining enough for those that are already conve

Of course `(uuid "…")` can be carried around as data; it's a list containing a symbol and a string, just like `#uuid "…"` is a tag and a string. The difference is that the latter is evaluated at read-time with constrained semantics, rather

I actually wasn't aware of the 'clojure buildpack' until you mentioned it. All I've ever done to put Clojure/Ring apps on Heroku is add a one-line Procfile to my Leiningen project, and `git push heroku`. :-)

I think you'll find Clojure to be superb in the web space. I've never been a ruby guy, but I did spend a lot of time with python in web dev, and Clojure compares very, very well IMO. In short, all the creature comforts of ruby/python +

FWIW, we didn't go to O'Reilly; they were shopping around for someone to write a Clojure book. So, whatever guidelines they have out there probably shouldn't be taken as actual "policy".

Nearly everything web in Clojure is built on Ring. I personally like using Compojure (which bundles together clout for routing and a bunch of good defaults for sites or web services) and Enlive (for templating). This is the stack we descr

Last I looked, their author proposal FAQ still has that exclusion. FYI, a Common Lisp book nearly made it out of the gate a couple of years ago, Nick Levine's 'Lisp Out of the Box'. The contents of it are available under a Creative Commons

Actually, it can be (and is) used as a general-purpose build tool. I'm using it in some otherwise Java-only projects, and — who knows — it might even start getting some love from Scala hackers: https://github.com/technomancy/lein-scalac

Once 50 performers do similar things, a company or two will start up offering production and marketing assistance to "self-publishing" artists, in exchange for a cut of sales. And, the old system will be reborn, much leaner, more effective

It's a great idea, and I have it queued to be installed to my Android phone. Q: how does this make money? Do large commercial mailers actually pay to have a streamlined unsubscribe mechanism, or is there another customer that I'm missing?

I've never used Chef either, but those don't strike me as unique challenges. Building a Chef-only distribution mechanism to support discovery, versioning, and source viewing is fine and all, but such things do already exist in any sane dep

This is not news, and should not reflect poorly on Apache CouchDB. AFAICT, Damien's last commit on the project was 18 months ago, and he is by no means the most active commiter, even on a historical basis.[1] Apache CouchDB's data model
