Only one paragraph about Denmark
I’ve been in Denmark for over a month and haven’t really seen much of it. I’m waiting for warmer weather. But the people are cool. Lots of different nationalities in the place I work in makes things even more interesting.
I’m doing mostly .NET related stuff right now, I only have time for Clojure on weekends. I’m trying to get a feel for getting better performance out of Clojure code; yesterday I’ve dug up an old code sample, but now I see I was doing a bunch of subtle things wrong. Rewrite ahead!
Back in December I’ve begun to prototype a Swing app in Java (I needed auto-completion to get used to the giantic API). Right now I’m in the process of building it from scratch in Clojure. I want to see how far I can go without dropping down to Java, and how to combine Java and Clojure in one project effectively (mostly from the design perspective).
