Rationale and high level design of Om Next.
About the speaker: David Nolen is a software engineer for Cognitect. He enjoys making music, writing JavaScript, writing ClojureScript, and exploring new approaches to user interface programming.
Games are a modern art form, and like other artists, game designers need to experience their work as they create it. This talk will explore the benefits of making games "at runtime". Through both abstract discussion and concrete demonstration, we will see why Clojure is uniquely suited to the task.

People keep implementing map, filter and other fundamental algorithms in different contexts - eagerly over collections, over lazy sequences, in parallel, over enumerables/iterables, over observables, over channels/streams etc. In addition to duplication of effort, this yields bloated APIs, and, when implemented in the classic way, often involves the creation of ...
In this talk, we hear from David Nolen from the New York Times about core.async, the new library for asynchronous programming in Clojure and ClojureScript. He'll be talking about Clojure, Communicating Sequential Processes & Responsive Design. This talk was recorded at the NY Clojure Users Group meetup at Two Sigma ...
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) approach to user interfaces was first proposed by Trygve Reenskaug in a 1979 Xerox PARC note. As Object Oriented methodologies gained popularity, MVC too gained traction as a natural and logical way to construct user interfaces despite obvious shortcomings. Even though OO researchers moved forward with alternative ...
More than 55 years ago John McCarthy had an insanely great idea called Lisp. Lisp marked the beginning of functional programming, interpreters, high-level metaprogramming, garbage collection, and much more. Yet after such auspicious beginnings the idea of Lisp has since faded and many of its innovations have been adopted by ...
Rich Hickey compares value-oriented programming with place-oriented programming concluding that the time of imperative languages has passed and it is the time of functional programming. ...
A presentation by Rich Hickey to the Western Mass. Developers Group on Clojure and concurrency. Brief overview of Clojure, discussion of concurrency issues, locking, and immutabiity. In-depth look at Clojure's refs, transactions and agents. Demonstration and review of code for a multithreaded ant colony simulation.Be sure to grab the slides ...
Rich Hickey's second, "philosophical" talk at the first Clojure Conj, in Durham, North Carolina on October 23rd, 2010.
Many thanks to Matt Courtney, who graciously provided the equipment and expertise that made this recording possible. ...
This is a talk from Barcelona FutureJS 2014 (http://futurejs.org).
Surprisingly the high performance mutation available in modern JavaScript engines is a great foundation for building high performance immutable collections. Even more surprisingly efficient immutable collections permit new ways of approaching user interface programming. While the details will be in Om, an ...
Transducers allow to express transformations on sequential inputs (like std::transform, std::filter, most of boost::range::adators and more) in a way that is independent of the input source. They are simple high order functions agnostic of the notion of iterator or collection and can be combined by simple function composition. They can ...
