I remember you mentioned it, but I didn't try it. flot was enough for this.

Our is also not written in Clojure. Most of the servers are in Java, a new
one is in Python but still have the same interface.
That said, however, I am (finally) putting together something in clojure -
We'll see, this was a skunk project and I need to see if it'll catch up or

Miki, thanks for sharing. Very cool project. Nice use of Flot. Have you checked out protovis <[link]> as well ?
We should compare notes at some point with a metrics system I have in place (though unfortunately not written in clojure). That said, however, I am (finally) putting together something in clojure - a system for determining pertinent metric outliers with sensible alerting

Cool project Miki, thanks for sharing. I like the modularity of the design,
specifically the way that servers publish their metrics and then you piece
together the reporting part of it however you want (such as writing a
Clojure tool to show you graphs ;-).

Greetings,
FYI: I wrote a blog post on a small metrics server I wrote, you can view it
over at [link]
It shows how to used Compojure/Ring/Hiccup as web stack, as well and using a
database (clojure.contrib.sql). The project also show how to pack everything

Polyglot JVM Hackathon Shootout!

dirtyvagab...@gmail.com (Aaron) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:23:12 UT

As an experiment for April only, we're combining the LA Clojure meetup
with the Scala meetup to have a 'Polyglot JVM Hackathon Shootout'.
Bring your laptop and your favorite JVM language. We'll pose one or
more programming challenges to work on, and see how it goes!

reading gzipped files

jaydonn...@gmail.com (Jay Donnell) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:50:00 UT

I don't recall who asked about this last night, but here is some
clojure code to read gzipped files.

(import '[java.util.zip GZIPInputStream])
(import '[java.io FileInputStream])
(use 'clojure.contrib.io)
(line-seq (reader (GZIPInputStream. (FileInputStream. "somefile"))))

If you want to read it from a byte array instead of a file use

I've used flot and dygraphs ([link]). Both are great.

Right now I really like protovis out of stanford: [link]

I've used both [link] and

Here at work we use YUI which has charting as well -

There are html5 chart packages popping all over the place, can't recommend
one though.

oops, looks like the okcupid blog relies mostly on png images with
just a dabble of interactivity.

Perhaps [link] is a better example…?

Re: Rendering Graphs in the browsers

Miki, your warning is spot on.

I try to stay in the "sweet zone" of each data tool used and ask
myself if a graph really requires all data points in order to be
informative. There are times when an aggregation of values will
suffice. For example, if the window of time is one year, it may be

Rendering Graphs in the browsers

miki.teb...@gmail.com (Miki) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:24:17 UT

Greetings,
Last night Avram commented that he now prefers to visualize graphs in the
browser (vs Incanter, SciPy, R ...).
My warning that this works well until you have big amounts of data. When
data (number of points in the graphs)
starts to be big (more than 1000 in my experience) all the in-browser

partial vs currying

miki.teb...@gmail.com (Miki) — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:02:10 UT

Greetings,
Some asked in the last meetup is partial is like currying. Here's a
explanation from "The Joy of Clojure":
*Partial application is not currying*
The use of partial differs from the notion of currying in a
fundamental way. That is, a function built with partial will attempt
to evaluate whenever it's given another argument. A curried

Apart from that I use VimClojure but without the nailgun integration (which
I can't seem to get working).
