Hi all,
I start reading about Closure language (http://clojure.org) and it seems an interesting language. I don't know much about this language especially in comparison to Haskell feature by feature. Could it perhaps be what Haskell on JVM would have been with the dressing of Lisp syntax?
Any one would like to chime in your comments about the language, in comparison to Haskell?
As far as I know, the closest thing to Haskell on the JVM is CAL http://openquark.org Clojure differs from Haskell in being impure (although it does provide some immutable data structures) and in not being statically typed -- the lack of static typing is the most important difference IMHO. Tom
