"ClojureScript does not currently support regular expression literals using #"" "

This one seems like a big deal, given how often I find myself using regexes in clojure. Is it on its way and is there a workaround currently?

Could you explain what it does?

1)

    (map #(* % 2) (range 1 10))

2)

    (reduce + (range 1 1000))

3)

    (def string "This is an example tweet talking about scala and sbt.")

    (some #(.contains string %) ["scala", "akka", "play framework", "sbt", "typesafe"])

4)

As a string:

    (slurp "filename")

As a list you could just do:

    (.split (slurp "filename") "\n")

Or if you want a lazy sequence:

    (line-seq (BufferedReader. (InputStreamReader. (FileInputStream. file-path) "UTF-8")))

There are also contrib libraries for this that do it nicer.

5)

    (apply prn (map #(str "Happy birthday" (if (= % 4) " dear NAME" " to you")) (range 1 5)))

6) I'm going to leave this blank for now. It's an easy enough problem, but I can't think of a way of doing it in a nifty one-liner.

Edit: Ahh thought of it now. group-by does it nicely:

    (group-by #(> % 60) [49, 58, 76, 82, 88, 90])

which returns a map with the elements keyed to the result of the anonymous function. In this case:

    {false [49 58], true [76 82 88 90]}

7) Something like

    (xml-seq (clojure.xml/parse the-xml))

probably.

8)

    (apply max [14, 35, -7, 46, 98])

    (apply min [14, 35, -7, 46, 98])

9) Clojure has pmap, which is used just like map is, work is just done in parallel. Also Clojure is known for its concurrency features, which I won't go over here.

10) I'm sure this can be done in a similar amount of code in Clojure, though I am not going to try.

Any comments/corrections are welcome.

So any interesting ideas for what this can be used for?

Ah, well that explains it I guess :o)

Why do you need to check in every 30 minutes?

Do you know what the name of his/their team name is?

Frankly the only reason I use it is because I don't know any better player. Not because it is that great. Any tips for good windows players?

Yeah, apostrophes seem to turn into some wierd jumble (e.g. ’) and so do other charaters. Aside from that, very nice work. Added to my reader.
