Re: Simulations in Clojure/Clojurescript

You might want to look into Chris Granger's work on component entity systems in clojurescript: http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/12/11/anatomy-of-a-knockout/ Light Table went on to have a similar component-entity layout internally. On Jan 10, 2018 6:12 PM, "Michael Nardell"

Re: Simulations in Clojure/Clojurescript

I'll second looking at Vega and Vega-lite. Grammar of graphics is wonderful. With regards to simulation on Cljs, keep in mind that JS is limited in numerical precision relative to the JVM, and this can be important in some simulation contexts. Just make sure you are aware of the probabilistic

Tiago ::Thanks, for your input. Worth more considerably more than $00.02 for me right now. Since the last week or so, I have been diving into ClojureScript. In particular I am loving exploring D3.js, with an interactive, live coding experience. I am not sure if I should admit this in public..

My $0.02, I was a very early Clojure adopter, but I stopped using it when Oracle bought Sun (I left the JVM completely at that time). I am currently using ClojureScript a lot - for the last 6 months or so, thus not the most experienced programmer. Most of my usage is doing scientific simulations

Simulations in Clojure/Clojurescript

Greetings :: I am new to Clojure and have not really gotten my feet wet with Clojurescript yet. The advice I always give someone when leaning programming or a new language is to pick a project that they are interested in and dive in. For me, that project would be creating educational
