[boston-lisp] Clojure presentation in Northampton
by Lou Franco 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

If any of you are interested in a road-trip, Rich Hickey is coming to Northampton to talk about Clojure. Details are here: http://wmassdevs.com/wordpress/2008/02/28/clojure-talk-with-rich-hickey-on-… It's March 20th @ 6:30 in Northampton. If you haven't seen clojure yet, it's a lisp dialect that runs on the JVM and has immutable, persistent data-structures and support for concurrent programming. Hope to see some of you there. -- Lou Franco lfranco(a)greenwave-solutions.com
