Loving Clojure
I'm learning Clojure and it's super great. I've worked through a most of the Koans and solved a few Project Euler problems.
I was also lucky enough to buy a ticket in time to attend the Conj earlier in the month. That was an incredible conference. So much material and so informative. Wow. It makes me really want to go to Clojure/West in March.
Once I feel a little more comfortable with the language, I think I will dabble in integrating Clojure in Spring applications. I'd like to create DSLs to simplify their coexistence. As an enterprise Java developer, Java and Spring are how I spend my days, but sometimes that comes at the cost of Java's high ceremony. Clojure's expressiveness mixed with Spring magic would be super powerful. Professionally, it's about picking the right tool for the job. I hope this becomes a theme of my blog.
I'd also like to rewrite either this blog or the NHJUG website. But who knows when I'll get around to that. This blog has had many incarnations (PHP, App Engine, the current Spring MVC stack), but that's a whole other blog post.
