Re: [Haskell-cafe] Any comments about Clojure language?

tretriluxana.s:

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?

It's a Scheme-like language that targets the JVM. Most of the comparisons between Scheme-like languages and Haskell hold. It provides some form of built-in STM, and libraries for some persistant data structures, which is an interesting development. -- Don
