Subject: [Lisp] Reminder: Lisp meeting, November 13th 7:00 at Trinity
Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, November 13th from 7:00
to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Rich Hickey Presents: Clojure - A Dynamic Programming Language for the
JVM
Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the
Java Virtual Machine. It combines the approachability and
interactive development of a scripting language with an
efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded
programming.
Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM
bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature
sup****ted by Clojure is sup****ted at runtime. It provides
easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints
and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid
reflection.
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the
code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. But
Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language
and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data
structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a
software transactional memory system that ensures clean,
correct, multithreaded designs.
Rich is the author of the Lisp-related projects jFli, Foil and
Lisplets. He has over 20 years experience developing sophisticated
scheduling, automation and analysis systems in a variety of programming
languages.
