I managed to use Clojure in a pure MS C++ shop. I started by writing some Communicating Sequential Processes code at home on my own time. The library allowed for analysis and simulation of code modelled in CSP. Next I found an interesting problem (distributed, timing, buggy) and modelled it using the CSP library. Since the analysis would have been difficult to do in another language and I already had a good start, I got some time to continue the work. Since we only use C++ I imagine side projects and utilities are about as far as Clojure will make in my company, but it was fun to spend some time on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
