This weekend in the Intertweets (Oct 2nd Ed)

  • Simplificando el entorno de desarrollo Clojure en Mac OSX. Nuevo artículo en la web. (via @agile_jordi) -- This is an article (in Spanish) about setting up your Clojure development environment in OSX. The usual suspects are featured.
  • Just published a guide to writing beautiful tests with Midje and Cascalog (via @sritchie09) -- Cascalog is a Data Processing library in Clojure that nicely wraps Apache Hadoop, and Midje is a testing framework that is seems specially suitable for the kind of testing that Cascalog users need. This article explains how to use midje-cascalog, a library that enables Midje testing on cascalog jobs.
  • A better explanation of why I am reconsidering my investment in Clojure. Talk me out of it. (via @marick) -- So speaking of Midje, his author, a well known Agile proponent, is putting forward some issues he's had with  the tone of some communications with Rich Hickey, and his (oh-so-public) stance regards Test Driven Development (or even Agile) or other popular request (e.g. better error reporting). In the light of these incidents Marick is wondering if issues like these are putting Clojure at a risk of becoming a niche language, and hence not worth making further investments of his time. Ugh, I hate to write about these things, i'd rather write about monads instead. In any case this cookie is relevant. Now, if we could try to find a common place in which we all win instead of all lose...
  • repl in the browser for many languages. they need #Clojure though. Clever name. (via @jmatt) -- Nice interface indeed!
  • core.match 0.2.0-alpha1 out the door. efficient backtracking, recur support. Beat it up folks (via @swannodette) -- Clojure and ClojureScript are getting very fast match predicates.
  • #Clojure #Noir 1.2.0 has been officially released! Change log here (via @ibdknox) -- Noir is a framework for writing web applications in Clojure.
