I emailed Peter Norvig about Rich's Clojure version of his spelling corrector. He graciously added an entry to the web page. Clojure does quite well for this program. It's very nice aesthetically, and it's the shortest so far. In fact, I noticed the sort order of the entries has changed from LOC (with the Python version being the shortest originally), to alphabetical on language name :)
I'm coming from (most recently) a Ruby background, and I typically find Ruby to be more concise than various Lisps, but Clojure at 18 LOC vs. Ruby at 34 LOC is impressive. Beating Haskell, wrt conciseness, on this exercise is impressive as well. This is a small program, but there's enough meat in it to exhibit differences in languages. http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html Brian Adkins http://www.lojic.com http://lojic.com/blog P.S.
