“Exploring Clojure multimethods with the universal design pattern” (here, via @fogus) -- A free excerpt of the book "The Joy of Clojure" by @fogus and @chrishouser
1K cores w/o cache coherency - Not so good for Clojure (here, via @lispcoder) -- Interesting article about how Intel plans to scale up to 1000 cores in once chip. The key seems to be to abandon cache coherence and go for message passing. I guess the "Not so good for Clojure" part refers to the latter. This design actually seems to be along the lines of the Connection Machine, so Lisp should be just fine. Man! If only I could get my hands on one of those! Xmas tree forever!
In action - #clojure #websockets #aleph #iOS4.2 (here, via @swannodette) -- This tweet only needs #ladygaga to beat the World Record of cool hashtags in a tweet (just kidding, #justinbieber is now cooler than the gaga lady). Watch the video. Drool. It shows the browsers of an iPad and a PC being synchronized via websockets and aleph. And it's FAST!
