Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.
Paulo Suzart paulosuz...@gmail.com writes: Sorry guys, I've been posting about Clojure since 2009, and still can't see it becoming the main technology even being the CTO of the company. What is the killer app for you? Or how do you think we can make clojure supporting apps like Facebook or something big like that? Being on the list a few days only I can tell you the 'killer-use-case' a complete newbie was looking for: clojure for android. Clojure apps that run as smooth as java apps but are (by the very nature of clojure) much more convenient to write would probably open up some doors in the enterprise world. I've seen real Scala for Android jobs already, hopefully there will be Clojure for Android jobs in the future too. -- cheers, Thorsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Code snippets to attract new users
kurofune jesseluisd...@gmail.com writes: Hello everyone! A Java programmer recently mentioned to me that if the Clojure community wants to appeal to industry programmers that they would need to provide example code comparisons, which clearly show why it is good to choose Clojure over another language. The same person gave me the following link with Java snippets that have proved useful for learners, something like a mini-cookbook: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/20-useful-java-code-snippets-for-java-developers/ When I google Java Clojure code comparisons, nothing simple or straightforward like this comes up, so I want to translate these snippets into their Clojure equivalents and place them side by side with the Java, for comparison. I hope it will also provide a resource for Clojure programmers who want to get a better feel for Java and gain a more intuitive grasp of what goes on during interop. I'd like to cloud the task out to anyone interested in picking one snippet and posting it here. I'll then collect them, clean them up, post them and provide a link to either a blog post or github gists page. Does this appeal to anyone? If not, what succinct piece of media would you suggest for wowing the pants off a Clojure skeptic? I think you should have a look at ,- | http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code `- there are solutions from hundreds of programming languages for hundreds of problems to be compared - and to be reused as useful snippets. I actually created a massive book out of this huge knowlegde base for my favorite lisp of all, PicoLisp (http://picolisp.com/wiki/?home): , | http://www.scribd.com/doc/103733857/PicoLisp-by-Example ` its and open source project, so you could very well take my LaTeX sources and create a similar 'by-example' book for Clojure (https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-by-example). But you would need to consider two important questions: 1. Copyright Quality I was in the unique situation that more than 600 Rosettacode solutions had been written by one single person - PicoLisp creator Alexander Burger himself. So I could be sure they are canonical high quality solutions, and I could (almost) solve the copyright issue by making Alexander Burger the principle author of the book with me as co-author. 'Almost', because not only the solutions have copyrights, but the problems too. I had to do quite a lot of extra work to make the authors of the Rosettacode problems happy. So be very careful (!!), this copyright issue isn't really fun at all, even when you produce a free open source book. 2. Does it help the language? I created two free books about PicoLisp, the aforementioned 'PicoLisp by Example' and 'PicoLisp Works' ,- | (http://www.scribd.com/doc/103732688/PicoLisp-Works) `- a compilation of almost all docs ever written about the language. I find them very useful myself as language reference, and it seems they are quite popular with people who like to discover this unknown but fascinating pure and powerful lisp dialect. But OTOH - everybody can see now how short and succint PicoLisp programs are, that libraries are often not needed because PicoLisp core functions are so powerful, how complete the PicoLisp application framework is for database and web-development - besides its extremely small footprint. And they could see how easy it is to install PicoLisp and how very fast it runs (the fasted interpreter of all?) when they actually try out the examples. So one would expect a kind of PicoLisp hype triggered by the language's suberb performance in the Rosettacode competition, but that did not happen (yet) - unfortunately. -- cheers, Thorsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

kurofune jesseluisd...@gmail.com writes: Pico-Lisp looks pretty cool, and that massive book of yours is nuts. It seems like there is an example for everything in there! About the poor reception in spite of Rosetta-Code success, I can only say that predicting human behavior on the assumption that their decisions are rational, is unlikely to ever succeed. We are socially minded, always looking for what's popular :) PicoLisp is really cool (except when it comes to jobs, projects, money and stuff like that). Clojure is cool too and hopefully more promising for that kind of stuff ... ;-) Those software hypes and desillusions are a fascinating topic by itself, its kind of hard to explain why some languages that appear like a chaotic free jazz improvisation with only temporal value have a huge success while others that appear like a perfectly structured bach fugues written for eternity are simply ignored by the masses. -- cheers, Thorsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
