Nathan Marz is a Clojurian, large chunks of Storm are written in Clojure. I think the examples are in Java just to not scare off potential users.

Storm is built in clojure -- https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm

Storm (https://storm.incubator.apache.org/) is a great example of Clojure used to solve concurrency problems in the wild.

For clojurists here, Nathan is the creator of the Specter[1] library. Which is a brilliant idea and technical masterpiece, IMO.

Nathan, kudos and good luck!

We use Clojure in production at Shareablee with Storm.

Is there an example of a storm cluster in Clojure somewhere? I could only find examples for Java, Python and Ruby on github.

If I can get clojure storm running in my project then I find a lot of code incredibly straightforward

Because there's a preference for just passing immutable data around the time travel debugger really helps me understand complex interactions

The Storm deploy is awesome. It's built using an awesome tool called Pallet: https://github.com/pallet/pallet

I'm going to try to get more documentation on using Storm from Clojure in the next few weeks. I write all my topologies in Clojure using a small Clojure DSL that ships with Storm:

Actually the OP uses Clojure in his project.

As much as I'm a huge fan of Nathan Marz and his work with Clojure and Cascalog... I am hoping this book is about how to make Big Data accessible to programmers across multiple languages.

Nathan, do you think you'll be including pseudo-code, or will one need to be a clojure programmer to best leverage your book?

Nathan, we guessed that it was written in Clojure :-)

Interesting to finally see the announcement.

Cool, it's written primarily in Clojure!

fsloth | karma 13218 | avg karma 3.41 · | 2014-03-01 18:12:13

OOoh, nice. Is this is a direct intellectual precursor to Clojure (although I have no idea if the authors have had any collaboration)?

bpicolo | karma 6988 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2017-10-31 13:11:19

True, but he's maintained the heck out of it. It's more or less a 1:1 translation of the Java -> Dotnet bits. Any pieces implemented in clojure are just copy pasteable at that point.

Thank you for that link, super interesting! It made me interested in trying out Clojure and seeing what it's all about.

shannah78 | karma 483 | avg karma 6.71 · | 2022-03-02 14:27:03

Neat. I hadn't heard of either of those before (though I'm not a Clojure developer). Thanks for sharing.

wa1987 | karma 94 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2021-05-07 10:49:59+00:00

There's Clojure too.

vga805 | karma 573 | avg karma 3.31 · | 2020-01-03 21:04:47+00:00

And, what makes me want to dive into this the most, there's some Clojure! Will definitely have to take a look a this one. Thanks.

binora | karma 6 | avg karma 0.67 · | 2018-04-10 04:49:32+00:00

that's a good read. can anyone point me to similar stories but for clojurescript ??

supster | karma 565 | avg karma 3.04 · | 2016-05-23 14:55:13+00:00

That is super interesting; I would love to see how Clojure compares.
