Clojure for the Semantic Web
From Semantic Web NYC
Speaker:
Rich Hickey and David Siegel
Meetup Track:
Technology and Advanced
Rich Hickey will join forces with the New York Semantic Web Meetup to use Clojure for the development of Semantic Web applications.
Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.
Areas of interest for this session on Clojure and the Semantic Web:
1. Clojure as glue language.
2. Clojure for semantic web applications
3. Clojure as a language for the semantic web
