Slides from my presentation last night about Cascalog, ElephantDB, and Storm (here, via @nathanmarz) -- I had the pleasure to assist to the meet-up in which these were used. Backtype is a Clojure powerhouse and they're putting a lot of great open source projects out. These slides cover them all.
clojure 1.3 alpha 6 (here, via @stuarthalloway) -- One of the new features/bugfixes is "detect and report cyclic load dependencies (CLJ-8)". Looks like a rather old ticket!
Announcement: clj-decline - validation sucks (here, via @planetclojure) -- Why another validation library? you say. Read the rant^H^H^H^Hpost in which the rationale is laid out.
Announcement: ring-persistent-cookies (here, via @planetclojure) -- There is no cookie in my house that persists. I don't think this will help with those either...
(converge [{:group-name "10cheapies" :image {:spot-price (float 0.03)} :count 10}] :compute ec2) (via @jclouds) -- Pallet just got support for spot instances in Amazon Web Services' EC2. Cloud computing on the cheap!
My Clojure impl of generalized quantifiers for English: just playing with a compositional model-theory #semantics. (here, via @jimtyhurst) -- This will let your code understand sentences like "less than 5 dogs barked" and validate if the sentence is true when matched to the model.
