This weekend in the Intertweets (Dec 6th Ed)

  • String Interpolation in Clojure (vs. Scala ? ;-) — “Can your language do this?”, part 47 (here, via @cemerick) — How to provide Clojure with string interpolation similar to Ruby or Groovy. That’s a nice feature to have! Will this make it to a reader macro as the author suggests? We’ll see.
  • My ports of Clojure 1.1.0-alpha, clojure-contrib (1.0 & 1.1), and Leiningen are now in the official MacPorts. (via @ieure) — awesome!
  • My Clojure Wide Finder is running *insanely* fast. Am cackling with joy (via @timbray) — this is interesting. How’d you do it? And where are the numbers?
    • a) java.lang.String.split b) reduce c) smaller buffers. d) type hinting. Faster than #scala and still room to improve. #clojure (via @timbray) — Ah! That’s how! Wait?!?! Faster than Scala?
  • Unit testing in the REPL (here, via @markneedham) — If you haven’t started using @sutarsierra’s test library, this is a nice and short introductory article to it.
  • #clojure #leiningen 1.0.0 is out (here, via @technomancy) — congrats! … but now it looks like Maven 3 could be a worthy competitor…
  • Uber cool or just beyond crazy mad – a scripted maven3 polyglot pom with clojure – needs more work thou (here, via @tailos) — what I said before… Maven 3 throws its hat in the ring
  • Scaling out for #analytics w/ #hadoop & cross language tools #jvm #crane #incanter #clojure #rstats (here, via @alisohani) — Great article on how Clojure, Incanter, Crane and Hadoop can work together to perform ad-hoc analysis on large datasets.
  • Setting up Clojure, Emacs, Slime, and Swank (here, via @dewitt) — yet another how-to for this set of tools. This one is good if you want to avoid using @technomancy’s Emacs Starter Kit
  • Short Chat Server in Clojure – After seeing a neat little demo of a chat server in node.js, I wondered… (here, via @KirinDave) — A chat server in 75 lines of code… !
