Re: Why the CLR languages fail?

2013-06-07 Thread Paul Dorman
Hi all, I'm super tired, so apologies if this has already been covered, but I think portability is the main issue. Java is very portable, whereas the CLR is focused on a single platform. Also, most of the innovations in the Clojure space have been built on top of the JVM. Until Clojure reaches cri

Hi Saul, thanks for writing this. Embarrassingly I wasn't even aware of the UnboundID LDAP SDK, so it's great to find two useful things I can use right away! I would like to implement a LDAP authentication in Clojure, based around clj-ldap. Do you think it is necessary for the bind-request functi

Hi Shree, while I wouldn't dare give you technical advice, I may have something to offer as a fellow Clojure noob. I did try Sandbar for my project, but found, as I delved deeper into the universe of Clojure web development, that I was altogether over-complicating everything. This, and the fact th

2011-08-09 Thread Paul Dorman
Thanks from me as well. This very question was my very next challenge. I would like to reuse Clojure functions from ClojureScript to achieve consistent back- and front-end password quality validation. One potential wrinkle may be the issue of the size of the bloom filter I'm using for the diction

The following will work for GMail users. I expect that many mail clients have similar functionality. In Mail Settings > Labels create a new Label for ClojureScript. I nested it below Clojure in my settings. In Mail Settings > Filters create a new filter for ClojureScript. Set the criteria to To: c

2011-11-16 Thread Paul Dorman
While I hope this thread dies a quick death, I'd like to offer the words 'properly' and 'well' as sometimes effective substitutes for 'idiomatically'. I am always interested in understanding how programming challenges can be addressed idiomatically, properly, and well, though I'm unlikely to have a
