I would like to revisit this thread on 'killer-apps' for clojure. Hope you don't mind.
For quite some time I have been trying to teach myself to code. -even before clojure was 'born'. (slow learner?... probably) I have read many books and spent many hours 'dinking' as my wife says. I find it very very interesting and fun. MOOC's and in particular Udacity.com have wet my appetite for learning again. I am taking several courses and enjoying the interactive format. I am even doing some screen-casting of the homework. I enjoy following your community and have learned a lot. I have installed emacs, light table, cider,org-mode, session, om -you name and enjoy going the different tutorials. I am really finding the simplicity of 'code as data' and 'immutability' to be very helpful. Anyway.... I may need to switch to decaf! NAAh Here it is: A killer app for me and I think MANY others like me would be something very similar to a Kovas' 'Session' 'pretty like Light Table' and beefy like IPythons Notebooks. I see a great opportunity for clojure to provide a pathway to learning to program the 'right way' from the start. It seems you have all come to clojure after realizing that yourself. I can't help but think many of the current students just starting out are going down the same path many of you did. Lets teach people eager to learn using the best 'hand-tools' available..... i told you i have been watching... Anyway thanks for sharing all the cool stuff you folks do. I would love to help any way I could....
