I've been doing a lot of work in Clojurescript [https://github.com/littleredcomputer/sicmutils] lately, and the time finally came to pull in my first vanilla Javascript dependency [https://github.com/infusion/Complex.js/]. The default way to do this seems to be the CLJSJS project [http://cljsjs. »

I've just merged a Cascalog pull request of mine [https://github.com/nathanmarz/cascalog/pull/270] that gives Cascalog operations access to the statistics that Cascading generates at the end of each job. I've also added global inc! and inc-by! functions that let you increment custom »

Liberator is a library for writing RESTful resources in Clojure. Friend is an authorization and »

A few months ago I announced Midje-Cascalog [http://sritchie.github.com/2011/09/30/testing-cascalog-with-midje.html], my layer of Midje testing macros over the Cascalog MapReduce DSL. These allow you to write tests for your Cascalog jobs in a style that mimics Cascalog's own query execution syntax. In »

I've had the pleasure of working with Cascalog [https://github.com/nathanmarz/cascalog] for about ten months now, and have seen the community produce some fantastic work. A number of businesses [https://www.assembla.com/spaces/cascalog/wiki/Who's_using_Cascalog] are using Cascalog in production; »

I've been working on a Cascalog testing suite these past few weeks, an extension to Brian Marick's Midje [https://github.com/marick/Midje], that eases much of the pain of testing MapReduce workflows. I think a lot of the dull work we see in the Hadoop »

Nathan Marz [http://nathanmarz.com/] and I are releasing Cascalog 1.8.1 today! We've added a few interesting features, and I thought I'd provide a bit more detail here for anyone interested. Cross Join cascalog.api now includes support for cross-joins [http://en.wikipedia.org/ »
