Thanks! As hinted in the paper, I think (or rather, I *hope*) that my C++ days 
are behind me. It's not that I have any problem understanding the language or 
the tools involved, it's that ever since I was exposed to LISP, writing C++ 
makes me hurt inside.

Plus, I see great opportunity for a NuPIC implementation in Clojure! :-)

Clojure seems like a perfect fit for the HTM anyway because of its 
language-level approach to multithreading. Doing what Clojure can do in C++ 
would either be impossible or a nightmare.

So, maybe in a couple of months, after I've received my blasted CS degree 
(finally), I'll look into exploring this path via Marek/breznak's Java-port of 
NuPIC: https://github.com/breznak/htm-cla

Cheers!
