I did an ECL port to iOS a while back, which you can read about in the ecl links here: http://kriyative.github.io/tags/ I vaguely remember someone adapting it with an ECL to android cross compilation effort. Can't

ClojureScript is a fantastic piece of engineering. I'm the author of ClojureJS, one of the few Clojure libraries that implemented Clojure to JavaScript translation (with predictable scoping semantics). After having looked over the ClojureS

We're not launched yet (but, close). I'll definitely post about it when we're live. I'm not sure how much of the Clojure (subset) code we'll publish, but I'll write more about our process and experience once we're launched.

I beg to differ. I've used ClojureJS (a Clojure to JavaScript translator) for building a non-trivial web app front end, and the result has not only been robust but also a pleasure to build (from a Lisp programmer's point of view). [Disclosu

Generated JavaScript can be served and cached just like static .js files. It doesn't have to be embedded in the HTML.

Dr. Barski, you just blew the mind of my four year old son. I wish I'd made a video recording of his reaction. Automatoon is seriously cool.

Indeed, how did I miss that. Thanks.

Very cool indeed. One minor issue was that the animation seemed to be running even when I switched back to the Draw or Animate tabs, pegging the CPU. Didn't see any reference to Clojure on the site, reference?

RTM and his controversial (for that time) Internet worm were key influences during my early years with computers and computer networks. My condolences to him and the rest of the Morris family.

My wife and I made this same decision about 5 years ago when we were expecting our first child, for pretty much the same reasons you cited. We were extremely fortunate to have found a niche for which we could build a product, and find payin

I believe clojurescript requires a patched Clojure implementation, and a JVM to support the generated Javascript at runtime, although I'm not 100% certain that these constraints are still true. And, I'm not sure how actively it's being deve

Also, I posted a response to a question on reddit, which might be relevant. http://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/f125l/clojurejs_a_n...

You're quite right about the juxtaposition of "demonstrable" and "future". I should have said functional programming has "already" demonstrated an advantage in producing robust and understandable concurrent programs, which will continue to

For a certain (large) class of programs, being "functional" is an advantage. Interestingly, you made the point that being functional means easier maintenance etc., but fail to attribute those advantages to being functional. If your argumen

I'll accept your own experience, and am happy for you. As for how Mr. Norvig's coping -- let's wait for him to post his own. I could see a language designer (say someone like Guy Steele) who has made major contributions in Lisp happily movi

"LISP is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use LISP i

Congratulations. Looking forward to it. Any chance you'll be releasing an e-book version also?
