That still sounds arithmetic-heavy to me. In looking through my code, I find three different classes of algorithm: 1) Things that are hard-core number-crunching, which for me is usually either combinatorics or crypto, where bigint is either a necessity or a major convenience. 2) Searches of various kinds, where most of the code manipulates trees/graphs to be searched with no (explicit) arithmetic, and one function evaluates a node with maybe a half-dozen arithmetic ops, meaning an average of <1 arithmetic op per function. 3) Everything else (web hacks, database stuff, string processing, etc.) where there's basically *no* arithmetic. I guess the real question I should be asking is: Where can I get jar files of the various branches so I can test for myself without having to deploy whatever infrastructure is needed to build clojure these days? Or am I likely to be able to build them with tools found in the BSD ports tree? <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
