Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:19:56 -0400 From: heow To: LISP NYC Subject: [Lisp] Lisp Meeting, June 9th at Trinity Join us Tuesday, 9 June from 7:00-9:00 for Stuart Sierra's presentation: Implementing AltLaw.org in Clojure This talk demonstrates the power of combining Clojure with large Java frameworks, such as: * Hadoop - distributed map/reduce processing * Solr - text indexing/searching * Restlet - REST-oriented web framework * Jets3t - Amazon S3 Clojure is a new Lisp dialect developed by Rich Hickey. Clojure takes lessons from the best of Common Lisp and Scheme, and adds new abstractions, a rich set of immutable data structures, software transactional memory, and tools for managing mutable state in a multithreaded environment. Clojure is compiled on-the-fly to Java bytecode, and offers direct and convenient access to any Java library. Stuart Sierra has contributed many modules to Clojure's standard library, including a testing framework, a code walker, and a macro-based template processor. AltLaw is a free, open-source, full-text database and search engine for federal court cases, developed at Columbia Law School. In the past, this information was only available in law libraries or commercial database costing hundreds of dollars per hour.
