Closures in Clojure and C#

So one of the ways I learn a new lan­guage is to take new things from the new lan­guage and port them back into the old, famil­iar one. Even­tu­ally, I’ll port an entire appli­ca­tion (even though that app may be very small) from the old to the new. I find that I learn things much …

More Clojure On Windows

I’m slowly work­ing my way through Stu­art Holloway’s Pro­gram­ming Clo­jure book (and using slowly in that phrase does a ter­ri­ble dis­ser­vice to the word) and so far, I’m enjoy­ing it. I had a run at Com­mon Lisp a cou­ple of years ago and ran into a brick wall for the most part (I think foot­ball …

Exiting The REPL In Clojure

When­ever I’m learn­ing a new lan­guage, it always seems like it’s the lit­tle things that drive me mad. With that in mind, I’m going to try and post fixes to the lit­tle things as I make my way through Clo­jure. To that point, I rapidly got tired of clos­ing down the com­mand win­dow and start­ing …

Google Is Starting To Scare Me

I wrote a post this morn­ing at 11:10 AM detail­ing get­ting Clo­jure set up on my sys­tem and I briefly men­tioned that I would prob­a­bly try both Vim and Komodo as edi­tors. At 3:39 PM, some­one had come to my site from Google using the key­words “clo­jure komodo”. I don’t think I’m ever going to …

Getting Clojure Highlighting With Vim On Windows

Toralf Wit­tner wrote a good syn­tax file for Clo­jure but I had a hell of a time get­ting it to work on Win­dows, mostly because I’m not very smart and/or I didn’t bother to read the doc­u­men­ta­tion for Vim. So sue me. Regard­less, if you want to use Vim to edit Clo­jure scripts on Win­dows, …

Getting Clojure Installed On A Windows Machine

This is mostly a pub­lic ser­vice announce­ment, I didn’t find a good list of require­ments any­where else. Yes, I know I must be insane to be try­ing to half-ass learn another lan­guage but what else would I do on Sun­day morn­ings? There’s no foot­ball and the alter­na­tive is hard man­ual labor in the gar­den. Shud­der. …
