Why I have chosen not to employ clojure

2010-03-21 Thread Tim Johnson
I have evaluated clojure for the last couple of days, and it is both my own professional decision and my recommendation to the professional organizations that I belong to and report to that clojure is not ready for prime time. Before any of you think that I am a disgruntled newbie turned troll, kn

Installation issues on slack 13.0 (ant?)

2010-03-19 Thread Tim Johnson
FYI: I'm using slackware 13.0, 32-bit slack has much to redeem it, but there is no apt-get, synaptic and aptitude. Thus when I unzip clojure-1.1.0.zip, the closest I can find to installation instructions are at readme.txt. Looks like a very simple process, except that I am unfamiliar with `ant'. Lo

Web Programming with clojure

2010-03-16 Thread Tim Johnson
My niche currently is web programming and web interfaces. I have not used java and I have a certain comfort level with lisp dialects. I use emacs 22.3.1 on slackware 13.0 32-bit. Therefore clojure is of interest to me. I would welcome links to discussions, resources etc. on this topic. Thanks --
