  In my continued playing around with Clojure I came across the apply function which is used when we want to call another function with a number of arguments but have actually been given a single argument which contains the argument list.

• Writing a Java function in Clojure

  
  Mark Needham — Authority: 467
  A function that we had to write in Java on a project that I worked on recently needed to indicate whether there was a gap in a series of data points or not. If there were gaps at the beginning or end of the sequence then that was fine but gaps in the middle of the sequence were not. null, 1, 2, 3 => no gaps1, ...

  Mark Needham — Authority: 467
  Something which I wanted to do recently was write a function that would indicate whether a collection contained a nil value. I initially incorrectly thought the contains? function was the one that I wanted: ( contains? ( 1 nil 2 3 ) nil ) => false I thought it would work the same as the Java ...

• Clojure: A first look at recursive functions

  
  Mark Needham — Authority: 467
  Im working through Stuart Halloways Programming Clojure book and I just got to the section where it first mentions recursive functions. Its a simple function to countdown from a given number to zero and then return that sequence. This was one of the examples from the book: ( defn countdown [ result x ] ( ...

  Programming and politics — Authority: 110
  Back in May, I was working on my JavaOne talk on JVM language performance . The first comparison was a prime number sieve .

• Persistent Data Structures

  
  Programming and politics — Authority: 110
  A few weeks ago I blogged about concurrency patterns and their relative tradeoffs . There were some really poor comments from Clojure fans -- the kind of abusive language and trolling that reminded me of Slashdot in its heyday.
