1. CLOJURE Intro to @raphamundi
3. Raphael Amorim This is me :P
4. WHAT’S CLOJURE ?
5. WHAT’S CLOJURE? Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (and the CLR, and JavaScript).
6. WHO’S USING CLOJURE? Akamai, Appvise, Citigroup, Amazon, eBay, Heroku, Groupon, Netflix, Nubank, Salesforce, Walmart Labs, Zendesk […] http://clojure.org/Companies
7. TAKING NOTES.
8. - Started in 2007 - Created by Rich Hickey - Under Eclipse Public License TAKING NOTES.
9. “ Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language ” TAKING NOTES.
10. FUNCIONAL PARADIGM?
11. Back to the Past.
12. λ - 1930 The Lambda Calculus Appears Back to the Past.
13. Lisp - 1958 Introduced a programming language able to deal with mathematical notation Back to the Past.
14. Lisp - 1958 Introduced a programming language able to deal with mathematical notation * IPL (Information Processing Language) is sometimes cited as the first computer-based functional programming language. First appeared in 1956. Back to the Past.
15. “Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style?” - 1978 John Backus (FORTRAN creator) criticizes hardware architecture based on von Neuman model. Back to the Past.
16. The Boom- 1980 Innovative techniques have been proposed, such as: Lazy Evaluation Emergence of other languages such as: Lazy ML, Orwell, Alfl, Id, Clean, Ponder e Daisy Back to the Past.
17. Definitions
18. Treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data.
19. So…
20. Take values and return values.
21. Same argument, same result.
22. Testing is easier, because there’s no state.
23. NO SIDE EFFECTS.
24. NO SIDE EFFECTS. Almost (e.g: I/O)
25. Syntax?
26. - Numbers ( 1, 3, 5, 85 ) - Character ( \h, \r, \a ) - String ( “barbante” ) - Boolean ( true, false ) - Symbol ( ‘a, ‘b, ‘c )
27. - Keywords ( :bad, :cool, :ugly ) - null ( nil )
28. Collections (all of them are immutable) - Lists ( '(1 2 3 4) ) - sequential and counted, not associative - first and rest - Vector ( [ 1 2 101 85 ] ) - sequential, counted and associative - access by key
29. Collections (all of them are immutable) - Maps ( { “raphael” 20, “richard" 25, “chuck” 99 } ) - counted and associative, not sequential - access by key - Sets ( #{“hugo” “raphael” “vianna”} ) - counted, not sequential, not associative - lookup for containment
30. Clojure REPL
31. There’s NO interpreter
32. "Laziness is a virtue"
33. "Laziness is a virtue"
34. Clojure Concurrency?
35. Clojure Concurrency
36. Clojure Concurrency
37. Today… To avoid Deadlocks:
38. Timeout and Retry? Specific Lock Order? Coarse Locks?
39. “ Locks are the Enemy ”
40. STM Software Transactional Memory
41. NO BLOCKING
42. NO LOCKS
43. PERSISTENT COLLECTIONS
44. Clojure IS much more…
