| | | | | Clojure is a dynamically, strongly typed programming language. It's a dialect of _Lisp_ running on the Java Virtual Machine. Lisp is 6 decades old and has a really weird syntax. That weird syntax is called _Polish prefix notation_. Basically, in every other language you've used math operators like plus or minus are infix. It means they are placed between operands. For example, `1 + 2`. In Clojure, you always put the operator (or any other function for that matter) in front. So simple addition becomes... `+ 1 2`. | |

| | | | | In 'Thought 2: Regex is Like Assembly' I wondered why we are still doing regex in this kind of hard to understand, symbolic way, when we have already invented high level programming languages. There is no reason regex can't be written as clearly as any other programming language we use today. I thought doing this would be an interesting project, and so I came up with Regexl, a high level language for writing regex, that can be used as a simple library. | |
