Udacity's case is different but the offering is more focused and very Python oriented. IMO, Udacity with its online Python editor and overall delivery style would be a better match for a clojure/clojurescript REPL approach. I have no idea how to get in touch with Dr Thrun et al about this, my only experience so far is with taking classes with both Udacity and Coursera. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
