I did an ECL port to iOS a while back, which you can read about in the ecl links here: http://kriyative.github.io/tags/ I vaguely remember someone adapting it with an ECL to androi…

ClojureScript is a fantastic piece of engineering. I'm the author of ClojureJS, one of the few Clojure libraries that implemented Clojure to JavaScript translation (with predictabl…

We're not launched yet (but, close). I'll definitely post about it when we're live. I'm not sure how much of the Clojure (subset) code we'll publish, but I'll write more about our …

I beg to differ. I've used ClojureJS (a Clojure to JavaScript translator) for building a non-trivial web app front end, and the result has not only been robust but also a pleasure …

Generated JavaScript can be served and cached just like static .js files. It doesn't have to be embedded in the HTML.

Dr. Barski, you just blew the mind of my four year old son. I wish I'd made a video recording of his reaction. Automatoon is seriously cool.

Indeed, how did I miss that. Thanks.

Very cool indeed. One minor issue was that the animation seemed to be running even when I switched back to the Draw or Animate tabs, pegging the CPU. Didn't see any reference to Cl…

RTM and his controversial (for that time) Internet worm were key influences during my early years with computers and computer networks. My condolences to him and the rest of the Mo…

My wife and I made this same decision about 5 years ago when we were expecting our first child, for pretty much the same reasons you cited. We were extremely fortunate to have foun…

I believe clojurescript requires a patched Clojure implementation, and a JVM to support the generated Javascript at runtime, although I'm not 100% certain that these constraints ar…

Also, I posted a response to a question on reddit, which might be relevant. http://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/f125l/clojurejs_a_n...

It is naive ... exactly for the reason budu posted.

You're quite right about the juxtaposition of "demonstrable" and "future". I should have said functional programming has "already" demonstrated an advantage in producing robust and…

For a certain (large) class of programs, being "functional" is an advantage. Interestingly, you made the point that being functional means easier maintenance etc., but fail to attr…

I'll accept your own experience, and am happy for you. As for how Mr. Norvig's coping -- let's wait for him to post his own. I could see a language designer (say someone like Guy S…

"LISP is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better programmer for …

Congratulations. Looking forward to it. Any chance you'll be releasing an e-book version also?
