- A dynamic JVM language
- CLR too
- JS as well
- Lisp family
- “Functional bias”
- Most things are immutable
- Mutable also well-supported
- Holding trainings / workshops
- Interactive workshops are best at ~ 5 people
- Train 50!
- Evaluating with survey:
- ~50 people * ~20 Questions ~= 1000 items
- Multi-select questions! ⇒ ~1500 items
- [HAVE] Spreadsheet:
- Questions
- Participants
- Answers
- [FIND] Extract answers per question
- Easily scorable format.
- [FIND] Assign scores to participants
- Given original spreadsheet…
- …and prescored answers.
| Thing | Java | Clojure |
|---|---|---|
| “Call” | bla(foo bar); | (bla foo bar) |
| on Obj | mu.baz(gah); | (.baz mu gah) |
| “Map” | Map x = new HashMap(); | {a b c d} |
| x.put(a, b); | ||
| x.put(c, d); | ||
| “Set” | Set y = new HashSet(); | #{e f} |
| y.add(e); | ||
| y.add(f); | ||
| “Vector” | List z = new ArrayList(); | [g h] |
| z.add(g); | ||
| z.add(h); | ||
| “Lambda” | (T1 one, T2 two) -> bla(one, two) | #(bla %1 %2) |
- Clojure is compact: Tool ~100 LOC
- Painfully dense, at times
- In fact, that was not the original program…
- Philosophy
- Rich Hickey has strong opinions.
- KISS!
