Announcing SproutCore 2.0 Developer Preview

http://blog.sproutcore.com/announcing-sproutcore-2-0/

“Web-style” applications, such as GitHub and New Twitter, provide rich functionality while still retaining the feel and layout of a traditional web page. SproutCore’s strong MVC architecture and bindings make it significantly easier to build these kinds of apps than other lightweight frameworks, but developers also have to opt-in to SproutCore’s view layer that includes many features these kinds of applications don’t need.

Today we’re announcing SproutCore 2.0: a rebuilt SproutCore, designed from the ground up to support every kind of web application. SproutCore 2.0 is highly modular and decoupled, allowing you just to opt in to the features you need.

We’ve been working hard on SproutCore 2.0 and today we are releasing our first milestone: SproutCore 2.0 Developer Preview, designed for developers who want to create web-style apps and don’t need the features of SproutCore 1.6′s view layer.

JLG on iOS licensing certificate!

Jean-Louis Gassée (former Apple VP) covers some history of Mac versus PC fight which some people want to apply to the iOS/Android competition of today. In the old days, we used to say that the SJ Mercury thought "beleaguered" was part of Apple's corporate name.

> Apple is doing it wrong, Apple is living on borrowed time! Apple will Fail Again! This idea, this meme, isn’t new. For more than 30 years we’ve heard a number of versions of the “Apple is doomed” requiem.

swank-cdt: Using Slime with the Clojure Debugging Toolkit

http://georgejahad.com/clojure/swank-cdt.html

> Swank-cdt is a port of swank-clojure to use the CDT, as a debugger backend. The CDT is a Clojure command line debugger which allows you to debug through the Java Debug Interface.
>> With swank-cdt, you can step, set breakpoints, catch exceptions, and eval clojure expressions, in the context of the current stack frame, from within the sldb buffer.

Exploring Yahoo S4 with Clojure | opus artificem probat

http://antoniogarrote.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/exploring-yahoo-s4-with-clojure/

Unfortunately, when using Clojure types, the resulting Java classes will not integrate easily into the S4 model since they don’t implement the standard bean interface and, as a result, could not be easily configured in a Spring configuration file. Furthermore, the standard serialization mechanism used in S4 at the moment, the Kryo serialization library, cannot serialize most of Clojure generated classes and default types, since it is unable to deserialize fields marked as final and because it requires argument-less constructors that clojure core types, like Keyword do not implement. In fact it makes even impossible to generate a serializable bean using the gen-class macro since this macro places the state into a final field.

Clj-s4 solves this issue introducing a new macro def-s4-message similar todeferecord that generates a mutable java bean for the provided field descriptions.

Update on Kyro: the serialization of final fields has been fixed according to the bug report.
