From: Heow Eide-Goodman To: LispNYC Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:57:40 -0500 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 supported by Clojure is supported 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.

From F&V (2nd Ave Stop): Walk E one or two blocks, turn north for 8 short blocks From L (1st Ave Stop): Walk E one block, turn sounth for 5 short blocks The M9 bus line drops you off at the doorstep and the M15 is near get off on St. Marks & 1st) To get there by car, take the FDR (East River Drive) to Houston then go NW till you're at 9th & B. Week-night parking isn't bad at all, but if you're paranoid about your Caddy or in a hurry, there is a parking garage on 9th between 1st and 3rd Ave. -- ;;-------------------------------------------------------------------------- (defun reply-to-this-email (addresses) (apply 'concatenate 'string (mapcar #'reverse (nth (random (length addresses)) addresses)))) (reply-to-this-email '(("woeH" "@" "cnIskeeGahplA" "."
