Can anyone help me on finding single board computer which are powerful enough to run clojure applications? Raspberry Pi/Pi Zero or BeagleBone Black is what I’ve tested and they are not powerful enough.

quoll01:08:02

I take it that Clojure runs, but it’s too slow for your purposes?

quoll01:08:21

Comparing a RaspberryPI Zero to a RaspberryPI 3, I see the Zero has a 1GHz single core CPU, while the RaspberryPI 3 has a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU.

quoll01:08:31

I have a couple of RaspberryPI 3s. I haven’t tried to run a JBoss server on them, or anything like that, but I haven’t seen any issues myself

chunsj02:08:35

@quoll have you tried boot repl or lein repl on RPi3? On RPi, it takes more than 2 mins with my project. It seems that RPi3 is faster.

I just deployed a small clojure app on the RPi3 building on the RPi is out of the question, I only have JRE8 installed there and even then startup takes about a minute.

akiroz02:08:02

performance after the app started is ok though.

chunsj03:08:57

@akiroz good to hear that.

Weird question: Has anyone ever done a clojure internship? I’m a sophomore so I’m just trying to find something to work on next summer.

My external monitor just conked out. Any recommendations for a replacement? I could see myself getting one big one; or two smaller ones if it won't be a hassle to connect them to a laptop (currently Thinkpad T520i, but probably getting a Macbook Pro once the product line finally refreshes).

amacdougall20:08:04

1920x1080 is fine. I'd rather keep my costs down.

griffio21:08:24

@amacdougall perhaps start with Dell Ultrasharp U2417HJ 23.8 at that resolution?

dpsutton21:08:47

that's the goto in our office. the 27" similar to it is very very nice as well

amacdougall21:08:40

I'll check that out! Thanks.

@chunsj: I've had better luck with running ClojureScript servers on the Pi. For JVM, you might try an Intel NUC, more expensive though
