Re: crazy idea...

Thanks for this pointer, Lucas - it looks as if I could learn a lot from Kibit - I'll have a good look at it. Jules On Saturday, 28 November 2015 18:54:11 UTC, Lucas Bradstreet wrote: > > Kibit (https://github.com/jonase/kibit >

crazy idea...

Guys, I've had pieces of this idea wandering around my head for years now and have finally decided that the time might be right for putting them together in the context of Clojure. I'm sure that others have had similar ideas before : Imagine my Clojure program which reads in your Clojure

Re: crazy idea...

Jules, There's work using random variation and selection to do some of the more ambitious things you've suggested. See, for example, http://geneticimprovement2015.com It'd be great to see work in this area being done in Clojure, perhaps in conjunction with some of the more deterministic

Re: crazy idea...

Kibit (https://github.com/jonase/kibit) does many of the things that you describe, though it doesn't go as far you dream. It also uses core.logic to suggest equivalent substitutions. I'd be happy to see more work in this area. Lucas On 29 November 2015 at 02:01, Jules
