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 <http://clojure.org/> 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 <http://stuartsierra.com/> has contributed
many modules to Clojure's standard library, including a
testing framework, a code walker, and a macro-based template
processor.
AltLaw <http://altlaw.org/> 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.
Directions to Trinity:

To get there by car, take the FDR (East River Drive) to Houston then

parking garage on 9th between 1st and 3rd Ave.
