Our web site is now live!

[Daniel Solano Gómez]

Hello,

At our meeting yesterday, we were able to successfully swarm-code a
simple web site using Noir and deployed it to Heroku. The web site is
available at <http://cljhouston.herokuapp.com/>.

Additionally, I have created a GitHub organisation for group projects.
The source code to the site we created yesterday is available at
<https://github.com/chug/cljhouston>.

While we haven't completely settled on a topic for the next meeting,
there was talk of continuing to code the site and/or doing some stuff
with ClojureScript.

Sincerely,

Daniel

Has anyone played with
https://github.com/takeoutweight/clojure-scheme? I'm looking for an
excuse to use Clojure in my research, but the target platforms do not
all support the jvm. This seems interesting. Any thoughts or
experience? Any ideas what (if any) the limitations might be?

Haven't played with it, but it is based on the clojurescript compiler.
This means it's probably missing the stm stuff (refs, agents, etc).
However, I would expect the rest of clojure to work. The author
mentions it is very rough to use.

There is also clojure-py that seems further along if you've got an
environment w/ python.

Clojure-py sounds interesting. The main thing I am needing,
unfortunately, is the concurrent functionality. Thanks for the tip!

Common Lisp? Compiles to real code, has your pick of concurrency abstractions (not language enforced, of course, but you can do the right thing). Most like Clojure of the Lisp dialects, IMO.
