reborg··on Introduction to A* (1997)
My Clojure take on a* was kinda of a journey. I thought I understood the algorithm several times while implementing it. It took me a few passes, now I'm quite happy about the results. Impressive how concise it is compared to the imperative version in other languages. Here if you want to see https://gist.github.com/reborg/c3372428c6ccd7d93289fb7a3a9ec...
reborg··on Functional Programming Jargon
I assume @hemanth is happy for the project README to appear on the blog of a recruitment agency. Along with the rest of the blogs that seem to be copy pasted from the original location. Should I guess functional-works obtained permission from all the original copyright holders?
reborg··on Clojure transducers from the ground up: using them in practice
Happy to review the code, but I'm having trouble understand which snippet you're referring to.
reborg··on Clojure transducers from the ground up: using them in practice
Ops, didn't think about that! Added Clojure to the title. Thanks for raising. (author here).
reborg··on Clojure at a Real Estate Portal
Nicely written. I enjoy the same positive pragmatic feeling using Clojure every day. I'm not sure if there are contexts in which this initial ease is NOT going to payoff (maybe it depends on my limited experience observing large dynamically typed codebases evolving over time).

Having started some Haskell lately, I have the impression that also statically typed FP (not just OO) can suffer from the same mindset to try to figure out correct types up-front. Of course sane discipline and smart developers can overcome this or any other trouble in any language, but still, it brought back a bit of my Java years.

Congrats to the team for the great delivery, another example to illustrate real-life Clojure projects aren't really hard to find anymore.
