My #Clojure #Hadoop lib version 1.1.0 (here, via @stuartsierra) -- List of changes here. This fixes some missing pieces in the first release, and adds some more Hadoop configuration options. Download it here.
Face recognition with clojure and OpenCV. Sweet! (here, via @jolby) -- OpenCV is a computer vision library. Processing, a programming language to manipulate and generate images, has a library that wraps OpenCV so it can be called from Java. This article shows how to integrate OpenCV into Clojure via Processing. This I call a fun project!
#clojure and #jclouds via #crane: coming soon to a theater near you (via @jclouds) -- JClouds is a framework that helps you get started in the cloud with Java apps and crane is a clojure-based solution for provisioning servers in EC2 and configuring Hadoop clousters. So we'll see what comes out of it!
Why macros are cool (here, via @kotarak) -- The title is self-explanatory, but this article also touches on an issue that more and more clojurians are finding in the field. AOT compiled code that won't run with newer versions of Clojure.
