If you’ve ever wondered what is meant by Mccarthy’s Lisp being like Maxwells Equations for computer science; then this is perhaps the best introduction to why that might the case.
though I’d start from lecture 1 🙂
Morning 👋
@rickmoynihan thanks for sharing that. Just watched the first part of that video. Very interesting
yogidevbear: yeah it’s great… If you find meta interpreters and PLT interesting, then another great book (if expensive) book is Lisp in small pieces. Each chapter covers developing a new meta-interpreter with slightly different language semantics / optimisations etc and exploring the wider impact....
@rickmoynihan: I quite enjoyed 34 minutes in
tgk: Even Sussman makes mistakes 🙂
Morning
We talk a lot in this community about Clojure "jumping the chasm" to avoid "heat death". Given this article perhaps we should all be submitting more talks to big conferences like OSCON? Just so no one really gets the idea Java 8 is actually comparable. https://opensource.com/article/16/12/yearbook-top-programming-trends-2016
I saw someone mention a new entirely Clojure based machine learning project a couple days ago (at least I think it was machine learning related). Anyone here know what that project might have been?
are you thinking about cortex from thinktopic? @gigasquid just did a blog post on using it
That's it. Thanks otfrom 👍
My current client works with ThinkTopic so I expect to be seeing Cortex creeping into stuff at work soon enough
That sounds exciting
Maybe you can submit a talk around cortex for OSCON 😉
Or lambda days
