Just wanted say thanks for all you contribute. Your textbook manifesto is inspirational. Also, I wanted to offer some encouragement on your Complexity book. It looks lke it's off to a great start.

Any chance we'll see a Clojure version of any of your books? It seems to be shaping up as a good choice for scientific computing.

Thanks! I am hoping to get back to the Complexity book soon. I want to finish the section on agent-based modeling (and I need to remove some of the stats material that I poached for Think Stats).

Clojure looks interesting, but I don't know much about it, so I probably won't do anything with it soon. But part of the reason I use free licenses is so that other people can adapt my books.

Nicholas Monje is working on Think OCaml (http://thinkocaml.com); that might be the best version to translate into Clojure.
