dosync+, clojure-tools, Engulf, Shen on Clojure, and more — Feb 26

Talks a little bit about cascade and how it is porting the bits from Apache Tapestry that make sense in clojure.

This is an interesting macro that allows for hooking callbacks on a dosync that will get called when a start, retry and committed takes place.

Let’s make it rock! If you are working on tooling for clojure, head on to this mailing list. Surely there are other people and teams working on areas of your interest.

“Visualization tool for webserver concurrency, written in Clojure and Javascript.” Go check it out, it’s got looks!

If you don’t know Shen, go take a look, you won’t regret it. Here is what they have to say: “Shen has one of the most powerful type systems within functional programming. Shen runs under a reduced instruction Lisp and is designed for portability. The word ‘Shen’ is Chinese for spirit and our motto reflects our desire to liberate our work to live under many platforms.” It looks like Shen is being ported to Clojure.

You’ll only be interested in it if you’re using Emacs. This Leiningen plugin generates the TAGS file that Emacs will use to help you navigate your code.

Let’s you see the clojure sources as a tree.
