[OT] Bangalore Clojure group

[Martin DeMello]

Anyone else interested in clojure? We're trying to get a Bangalore
clojure group up and running:

http://groups.google.com/group/bangalore-clj

If you haven't come across clojure before, it's a very well-designed
lisp targetting the jvm, with great concurrency features and seamless
java integration. Should be of interest to fans of dynamic languages
(at least all four founding members of the group are ruby enthusiasts
too :)).

There is also the bangalore functional programmer's group at
http://groups.google.com/group/bangalore-fp?hl=en

I wish there was a generic "programming" group. Not language, or
paradigm specific, but just for programmers. Not for general
technology discussions but for actual programming related stuff. The
local LUGs definitely aren't the place to talk about stuff like that,
neither are the language specific lists. The FP list unfortunately
seems like a weird place to discuss non functional programming.
programming.reddit is a good place for discussions, but a group could
have meetings too.

Anyways, clojure looks interesting.

I'd second that. Interestingly enough, I've noticed a clear trend inside
of ThoughtWorks where most of the interesting stuff is discussed on our
software dev list; there's very little that people consider so specific
that it can only be posted to, say, the .Net lists or the Concurrency
lists or the functional lists. Conversations tend to not just include
programming, but also philosophy and process as well, which makes for
really interesting conversation.

Does anyone want to experiment and see whether a cross cutting list will
work? If yes, then I've just created
http://groups.google.com/group/bangalore-software-development
It's an open group so we can try it out and see what happens.

Cheers,
Sidu.

I would be definitely interested in meeting folks working on alternate
languages.

Count me in.


PS: I just moved in from Chennai, so coming to know all these groups
is pretty exciting.

Let them talk of their oriental summer climes of everlasting
conservatories; give me the privilege of making my own summer with my

On the contrary, I just moved out of bangalore to chennai. I guess
this keeps the universe in balance or something. :-)

Hi,

I just started learning Clojure. I would love to be part of this
group!

Cheers!
