Fwd: [wmassdevs] Clojure Talk with Rich Hickey

[Dan Bernier]

I know North Hampton, MA is far for many of you, and I know these are
Ruby groups, but...since most Rubyists are polyglots anyway, and Ruby
has Lisp in its heritage, I thought a good chunk of you might find
this interesting enough to make the drive.

Rich Hickey recently released Clojure, a Lisp dialect that translates
into JVM byte-code, and he'll be speaking about it. If you'd like to
come & listen, see below...

Subject: [wmassdevs] Clojure Talk with Rich Hickey
To: Western Mass Developers Group <java-py...@wmassdevs.com>

On March 20th, the regular meeting of the Western Mass Developer's
Group will feature Rich Hickey, the author of Clojure.

Clojure is a dialect of Lisp that compiles to Java Bytecode and runs
on the JVM. It features persistent, immutable data structures and a
model for creating multi-threaded designs. If you haven't seen
clojure, please take a look at the site:

http://clojure.sourceforge.net/

The meeting will be at 243 King Street in Northampton -- Chas has
arranged a space, and there is a lot of parking. The presentation
will start at 6:30.

And, if you have a chance, you might want to check out his talk at the
Lisp NYC meeting:

Please send this to anyone who would be interested.

This does sound very interesting.  I might not make it up to North Hampton on a weeknight, but thanks for getting the word out.

Regards,

Paul.
