Clojure is a general-purpose language with seamless Java interoperability, a modern Lisp dialect, an a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. Elegant and powerful, Clojure aims to reduce the incidental complexity of software engineering by making functional programming practical and accessible.
The first class introduces Clojure's philosophy, Lisp syntax, and primitives for expressive functional proramming on immutable collection types. In the second class, we'll overview some libraries for production-quality programming in a few areas: parsing, concurrent programming, distrubted databases, and graph and dataflow programming.
The class will be interactive, with an emphasis on functional problem solving, so bring a laptop. Check the webpage for updates at the beginning of IAP!
