As such I don't think it's a particularly useful discussion on what is primarily a technical list. Perhaps post the question on Quora? That seems to be very friendly toward political / moral discussions... My problem with the Monsanto topic is not that it is political or subjective, but that it is likely to be contentious and negative. Other candidates for doing something worthwhile may be arguable, but at least they start on a positive note. FWIW, I like John Wiseman's take on this: Suggestions of endeavors using clojure for something worthwhile itself seems like an entirely worthwhile discussion if people can resist the temptation to debate what worthwhile means and to disagree with other people's concept of worthwhile. For example, here's a recipe for a useful discussion: If you know of activity X that you in good faith believe is worthwhile or, more specifically, (and I'm guessing at Rich's original intention so I could be wrong) philanthropic then post about X. If you disagree with a poster about whether X is worthwhile, do not post. Getting on to the question of non-technical questions on the list, my reactions are that (a) this seems like the best place to find information on the question I posed and (b) this is a mailing list of Clojurists, not just a mailing list about Clojure, per se. So, I don't feel guilty about adding a few messages to the list. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin r...@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resumeSan Bruno, CA, USA +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Who is doing something worthwhile in Clojure?
I personally believe that Overtone is a worthwhile project. Whilst I totally want to see more projects that help us at least maintain and ideally improve the harmony of the world, I also value projects that dare to take us in new directions. With Overtone, I'm attempting to ask the question can we enrich the way we communicate?. Live Coding with Overtone, for me at least, is a new way for me to communicate (via sounds) parts of me that words struggle to represent. Sure, I bet I could do a much richer job with a traditional musical instrument. However, by opening up a window to the music world for programmers, I'm hopefully broadening the number of people (including myself) that will be able to communicate in this way. Also, I'm driven by the idea that using programming languages as musical interfaces can take us to extraordinary places that traditional instruments can't currently reach. To me at least, this is a worthwhile endeavour.

Re: Who is doing something worthwhile in Clojure?
I have done several things in my life where, at least, I am sure that the world would not have been better off if I hadn't tried. I think this is enough to hope for. I'm fooling around with Weather Jerk (http://www.weatherjerk.com/) in my spare time. It uh... solves the problem of having too many friends? Actually, I'm pretty sure the world would have been better if I hadn't tried on this one. Also, Grateful Place (http://gratefulplace.com/). Clojure w/ liberator for the api server, datomic for the db, angular for the frontend and writeup at http://www.flyingmachinestudios.com/programming/building-a-forum-with-clojure-datomic-angular/. I've read about studies that say taking a few minutes to express gratitude every day is one of the easiest ways to become happier. As programmers, we spend a lot of time trying to find out what's broken. Taking time for gratitude reorients mindset to look for positive things. My favorite post so far is this one, http://gratefulplace.com/#/topics/17592186047726, which expresses gratitude for Pedestal documentation that makes sense ;) Daniel -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Being acquired by Monsanto does not invalidate The Climate Corporation's work, which I find extremely exciting and valuable. In fact, why would their work be worthwhile by your worthiness definition?

Re: Who is doing something worthwhile in Clojure?
Why is a programming language---which one would think is in itself neutral, being a tool that can be put to a variety of uses---more obviously worthwhile (let alone the ultimate worthwhile thing!) than sellers of insurance, who, after all, do, if they're honest, insulate people from what would otherwise be inconvenient-to-catastrophic events (and thereby make certain risks more feasible)?

Suggestions of endeavors using clojure for something worthwhile itself seems like an entirely worthwhile discussion if people can resist the temptation to debate what worthwhile means and to disagree with other people's concept of worthwhile.

I used to have similar feelings about The Climate Corporation, but their recent acquisition by Monsanto troubles me. This makes me wonder about the number of Clojure-driven projects that meet Tim O'Reilly's notions of doing something worthwhile: “Pursue something so important that even if you fail, the world is better off with you having tried.” Full disclojure: I'd love to find a Clojure-related position that meets this test. More generally, however, I'd like to know about any projects that do so.
