I use Clojure for web crawling / scraping of certain services with storing extracted data in a custom database. I could marry existing Java libs with an excellent xml/html walking via zippers; and could test it in REPL which is a pleasure to use. After finishing a prototype it became a valid production version which Just Works in a near-zero time. Ah, and I eradicated many bugs early by having set *warn-of-reflection* - esp. for the code heavily calling Java. Nothing revolutionary, it was just use of typical web-related techniques, which are unfortunately still a major pain in the ass on many programming platforms (and they don't have macros!! ;) More uses incoming. It will be bulk data load of QDBM and TokyoCabinet storages, for example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
