• A swank-clojure patch for Windows (here, via @jsamsa)
  • Clojure vs Ruby & Scala — Transient Newsgroups (here, via @laujensen) -- "Recently I had the good pleasure of reading a blogpost which demonstrated a fun exercise in both Ruby and Scala, namely scraping newsgroups. I had a look at both solutions and decided to roll one in Clojure as well [...]" . Lau shows some good use to the upcoming transients
  • Note to #clojure people - AOTing your code really makes it a PITA for everyone else to use your library (via @dysinger) -- Word!
    • I like the neotradition have shipping a slim jar (Clojure sources only) as well as AOT (via @hlship)
    • My gripes with AOT abuse #clojure (here, via @dysinger)
    • It would be nice if there was a compile-time flag to enable/disable AOT RT (via @liebke)
  • Requested App Engine feature: "Add support for native concurrency features of Clojure & Scala" (here, via @kevin_noonan) -- Wouldn't that be great if we were finally able to fully utilize clojure's power in Google App Engine...
  • So I configure a build for #clojure-contrib compiled against clojure "new" and it's on maven repo also http://build.clojure.org (here, via @dsyinger) -- You'll need to use this version if you use the "new" branch of Clojure since the official clojure-contrib jar is ahead-of-time complied against the main branch.
  • Uploaded an experimental build of #incanter, compiled with #clojure's new branch, to #clojars (here, via @liebke)
  • Persistent Trees in git, Clojure and CouchDB: Data structure convergence (here, via @eclipsesourceteam) -- It looks like the use of persistent data structures has become quite popular lately. Although with some differences between these projects, the pattern is definitely emerging.
  • Clojure roundup: Flightcaster, Crane, Incanter, Leiningen (here, via @bradfordcross) -- that's at InfoQ
  • Got distracted from my writeup to try some more IO tweaks. 8m4s on #Clojure Widefinder 2, finally catching up on OCaml. ;-) (via @atosborne) -- The Tim Bray's saga around Clojure continues and the plot thickens, now with @atosborne optimizing View Finder 2 on the same Niagra machine Tim is working on. It seems things are going pretty well and there might be a 5000 word blog post about the optimizations coming soon :)
