[cap-talk] An interesting sounding new language

[Raoul Duke]

$0.02,

> http://clojure.org/: Don't blame me if it's not.  I only read a summary.

(a) it implements software transactional memory (see Haskell for
another, earlier implementation) and (b) it is a Lisp running on the
jvm (and .net sorta kinda).

i don't think it has anything particularly important to explicitly
contribute to security. simply trying to reduce bugs in code (the STM
stuff) certainly helps, but that's general software engineering rather
than security specific. there are other STMs for the Java ecosystem.
there are other lisps on the jvm. there are other cool languages on
top of the jvm.

(if you are interested in cool johnny come lately or perhaps just
undervalued languages, imhumbleo other interesting ones are: Scala;
Lisp-Flavoured-Erlang; Bigloo Scheme; PLT Scheme; Fortress; CAL-jvm;
Qi-Lisp; et. al.)

sincerely.
