For a seminar at university I had to write about parallel programming on the JVM with Clojure. Because I am new to Clojure and did not believe all the euphoric statements about Clojure, I did not only prepare a paper and presentation slides, but also a little demo application called Clojure Sheep.
Clojure Sheep is actually based on Rich Hickey’s ant simulation he presented in his Clojure Concurrency talk, but I removed some logic to concentrate more on the concurrency features and to make it easier to also create a version written in Java. My experiences:
Overall, these results encourage me to try out Clojure for Zong! now. I think, I’ll begin to port some of the core code (basic data structures) to Clojure. Because of the immutable and persistent structures, this could already solve our tremendous open problem how to realize undo/redo in a fast and memory-saving way.
