Today in the Intertweets (Dec 7th Ed)

  • Our #Clojure book has gone out for technical review. :O (via @fogus) — this is a new book (no title yet) on Clojure by Manning, by @fogus and @chrishouser. No date for the MEAP (early access) yet.
  • How ’bout a #clojure debug-repl? (here and here, via @georgejahad) — insert a REPL instead of a ‘println’ in your code in order to perform debugging. Neat!
  • Sweet #redis #clojure is powered by leiningen now (here, via @dysinger) — Redis is a #nosql DB, and redis-clojure is just a Clojure wrapper for it. Another one down for Leiningen!
  • #Clojure – Now with full liveness tracking for all locals! (here, via @fogus) — here is the commit in the ‘new’ branch. This change prevents loops from holding on to local variables after the ‘recur’ by clearing those locals after their last use; that is, “if you’re not using it, you aren’t holding it” (@richhickey) . The lack of this feature has caused lots of headaches to many, spending long periods looking for the cause of memory leaks in loops. No more. Maybe a 1.2 feature though, it doesn’t look like it is making it into 1.1 for now. Testers welcome!
  • oh look! http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/ai-overview.html – we should do this in clojure! let’s build a clojure machine!!! (via @nicferrier) — Let’s do it!

    Just a small point. Chouser’s twitter ID is @chrishouser.

      Thanks for noticing. Should be fixed now.

  2. [...] such cases should ‘just work’ from now on.” We had reported on this development sometime this week. This is the official [...]
