Clojure Programming Cookbook

Overview of this book

When it comes to learning and using a new language you need an effective guide to be by your side when things get rough. For Clojure developers, these recipes have everything you need to take on everything this language offers. This book is divided into three high impact sections. The first section gives you an introduction to live programming and best practices. We show you how to interact with your connections by manipulating, transforming, and merging collections. You’ll learn how to work with macros, protocols, multi-methods, and transducers. We’ll also teach you how to work with languages such as Java, and Scala. The next section deals with intermediate-level content and enhances your Clojure skills, here we’ll teach you concurrency programming with Clojure for high performance. We will provide you with advanced best practices, tips on Clojure programming, and show you how to work with Clojure while developing applications. In the final section you will learn how to test, deploy and analyze websocket behavior when your app is deployed in the cloud. Finally, we will take you through DevOps. Developing with Clojure has never been easier with these recipes by your side!

Preface

ClojureCLR


ClojureCLR is a way to use and port your Clojure code to a .NET runtime. There are different levels in achieving this integration; why you want to run your Clojure code on the CLR is going to be at the root of your usage and of its different patterns. You may simply have stumbled upon some fantastic looking Clojure code, but with all those brackets you are not sure if you can debug it or not yet, so you just want to embed the clj algorithm and be able to run this on the command line or through a Windows native interface. You may be tempted to create Windows User Interfaces from the usual Clojure REPL, which is also possible using ClojureCLR. You may also want to distribute you Clojure code into a Windows Dynamic-link Library (DLL) and give it to a customer so he can call it natively.

In this recipe, we will look at all those different options and will also learn how to be productive on the CLR.

While working through this recipe, you will also realize, again, how the memory footprint...
