Running through an introduction to Clojure with an Eclipse plugin is really quite easy to setup and get working.

(ns com.luth3r.test)

(def v 1)

(defn f1 []
   (println "f1: v =" v))

(defn f2 []
   (println "f2: before let v =" v)
   (let [v 2]
      (println "f2: in let, v =" v)
      (f1))
   (println "f2: after let v =" v))

(defn f3 []
   (println "f3: before binding v =" v)
   (binding [v 3]
      (println "f3: in binding v =" v)
      (f1))
   (println "f3: after binding v =" v))

(defn f4 []
   (def v 4))

(f2)
(f3)
(f4)
(println "after calling f4, v =" v)

2 Suggestions for Posterous

  • Fix the tabbing on the post entry page. After typing a title and hitting tab - I want the cursor in the textarea, not bouncing through every single editing option.
  • Where is markdown, creole or textile support? This heavy handed GUI and mouse usage is for the birds.
