Pedantic note: #^ for metadata has been deprecated for at least 2 if not 3 versions. ^{ and ^:x aren't special. It's just ^ (reader metadata symbol) followed by a map and keyword respectively. Other things can also be metadata (for instance

kickstarters are not the sole way people contribute to projects and communities. ibdknox has created some very popular (in the clojure community anyway) software (noir, korma etc) that a lot of people build on top of. Surely this should cou

While not addressed to me, i'd like to chime in with some comments of my own here. One of my personal gripes with javascript as an environment is that out of the box there is exactly two composite data structures, and both are associative:

Simple: a fanboy is someone you disagree with and would rather attack ad hominem than engage with in rational discourse.

It would be remiss to not point out that noir probably has the strongest set of documentation (both api and tutorial styles) of the main three libs.

> Noir isn't very large None of the main clojure web libs are very large, so this applies to all of them :)

There is no one framework (in fact, most of clj's web ecosystem is not frameworks) that is far and away more popular than the others. At the heart of everything is Ring[1]. Ring is roughly equivalent to WSGI or Rack. However, if you use Dja

And to clarify, grandparent probably wants the terms 'first class function', 'anonymous function' or 'lambda' (depending on the specific usage.)

"If you come from a javascript background, you will have a leg up on most people in terms of learning clojure. You get used to inlining functions pretty regularly." You'd be better off listing the languages that don't have some sort of 'i

The obvious reason for no Object/Relational Mappers in Clojure is that while Clojure has objects available, it doesn't orient around them. It makes much more sense to treat a set of records from the DB as a sequence of maps. For DBs and Clo

I'll look into fixing then. Do you have any suggestions for good syntax highlighting to use from either clojure or javascript?

Regarding Clojure, while compojure is popular, a compojure centric view of web programming is misguided. Compojure is part of a growing ecosystem of libraries built on top of ring[1][2]. Firstly this ecosystem is not analogous to rails or d

main = print "Hello, World!" Not a monad in sight. Yes, print is an IO Action, but you don't have to use monads to do IO. Add in 'interact' and a you can be writing trivial stdin / stdout programs very quickly.

In a python repl dir(object) and help, help(object) are what you are looking for. Both these functions are in the default namespace dir(__builtins__) Returns a list of strings for all the names bound in the prelude namespace.

I believe you are wrong about optional static typing; type hints in clojure are purely an optimization and for clarifying dispatch: user=> (defn foo [^Integer i] (prn (type i))) #'user/foo user=> (foo 1) java.lang.Inte

You have (understandably) been led astray by a poorly considered title. The article demonstrates a vector based 'hand drawing' algorithm that happens to use the HTML5 logo and be implemented in javascript with canvas. Unfortunately it doesn
