Joy of clojure.
Apr. 28th, 2012 11:29 pmReading "A joy of clojure", made to chapter 6 so far. I like the book more than Halloway's.
I did not know Clojure has integers with bases 2-36 built in.
REPL=> 36rz
35
I don't get the motivation to add anything but bases of 2,8,10,16. Also having rational numbers support looks like tribute to Scheme rather than real world requirement.
However I am not in a position to complain about industry use of Clojure. Unfortunately I can hardly use it at work - only did some small log parsing tools with it. All people around me (colleagues and customers) are using C,C++,IEC61131 and Asm only, so I interoperate :).
