I want to create a DSL for generating gcode for cnc milling machines
Unrelated to Clojure, but on the subject of DSL, the July/August 2009
issue (vol. 26 no. 4) of IEEE Software is dedicated to domain-specific
modeling.
Hugh,
I receive Factor mails, however, I am still learning Forth/Factor. IMHO, you
should spend much of your time in Java while casually going through Clojure
book. Factor and Clojure are FP languages and I must confess they are close
cousins. I have heard you mention gcode and other stuff in

I'll add my two cents.
You sound like you already program, so basic Java knowledge is useful
with Clojure, but not necessary. You can pick up what you need to know
as you learn Clojure. You will find hooks into Java are a lot more
pleasant than interfacing with C and C++. I'm saying that one

Yes, you can learn Clojure the
Java does get a bad rap these days and it can be difficult to spend
time learning something that you are not excited about. Here is a
little more encouragement.
I was recently working on a Project Euler problem involving prime
number generation. My initial pure Clojure implementation took about
As a Java programmer coming to Clojure I would be very interested in the
intended application. How you approach that from a Clojure perspective is
what I'm interested in. I've programmed in Lisp in the distant past
(Symbolics Lisp machines) and still have very found memories of that
environment.

My experience so far is that most of the annoying things that get in
the way of doing cool Clojure things are due to Java. Things like how
classpaths work for example, and permissions. My experience with Java
comes from college courses I took about 10 years ago, so the Java
level of Clojure can

In general I think the STM solution to most concurrency issues looks
promising, however in the case of dining philosophers I found that Java
locking was easier than a ref, atom or agent solution.
