DLSs, Frinj, MCLIDE 2.0a0, explain, a code analyzer, and GATK. — Mar 04

This is about implementing a DSL with –guessed it right– monads. Monads are powerful…

“Frinj is a practical unit-of-measure calculator DSL for Clojure.”. Inspired in Frink, a language that has, amongst many other awesome features, support for units of measure. There is even a port of one of the Frink demos. Check them both!

MCLIDE has support for many Lisps, including Clojure.

This is an interesting concept that I would like to see more in the clojure world. An explain function that will tell you what a piece of code will do.

There are not many transformations implemented yet, but this analyzer will propose better forms for part of your code, for example, change an if with no else with a when.

If you are familiar with GATK then you must be a mad scientist playing with the gnome. If not, well, now you can, with Clojure, of course. Now think about the power of a clone function in conjunction with doseq…
