Hi, we have made a update site for Eclipse 3.4 & 3.5:

Eclipse update site broken?

dmcol...@gmail.com (Dave Collie) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:57:35 UT

Hi
I just tried entering [link]
into Eclipse as an update site but Eclipse (3.5) reports "no
repository found". If I try to open the URL in Safari I get "Document
could not be loaded by browser". Any ideas as to what the problem is?
Thanks
Dave.

This looks like an interesting STM implementation:

to integrate with CAL than Clojure's STM would be.

I think GitHub would be a good choice.

For the former issue, I need to get around to reinstalling some svn
software on that server - though I'm thinking about rehosting the
sources anyway somewhere else... GitHub?

On the latter issue, the update directory had somehow got its file
permissions set to "no access" for everyone other than root. Not sure

Still used here :-)

i think there are a few "competing" stms for scala, and nothing that
is yet a de-facto standard there.

I also just noticed that the Eclipse update site given me an "Access

Hi Raoul,

I'm just starting to use CAL in a class project on parallel
computation - I'm using it as the foundation for a little DSL that can
automatically be optimized for parallel evaluation (hopefully :)

I used to program in CAL a fair bit back when it was used internally
at Business Objects.

Hi Raoul,

I don't think that's too hard -- I have written my own STM for CAL,
and while I suspect that mine was not nearly as performant as
Clojure's, it seemed to be correct -- I implemented the Santa problem
from Beautiful Code and a bunch of other small programs. I hadn't come
across Clojure at the time, so I didn't try that 'ants' example. I

i wish there were the resources available on earth to somehow get the
clojure stm working in/with/under cal (and scala ;-).

hi,

who is actually using CAL? i'm not. i have no free time. :-) but i'm curious :-)

sincerely.

Re: how confusing is cal's reduction strategy?

tgdav...@gmail.com (Tom Davies) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:25:37 UT

I'm sometimes confused by CAL's space behaviour, but I think that's
just me :-) I can control it by adding strictness annotations, and I
don't recall any unexpected behaviour.

The global optimizer performs various transformations -- on the
assumption that these aren't applied in the REPL you might see
