Deep Blue Lambda is a personal blog at deepbluelambda.org about programming. Since 2010, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 16 times, most often “Creating Android applications with Clojure, Part 1”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (7) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
A developer's blog on non-Java programming for Android, especially Clojure and Scala, with talks, slides and library announcements. HN links it for Clojure on Android and alternative Android languages.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 7 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionAt the Texas Linux Fest, there was a great talk that reviewed non-Java ways of programming on Android: http://texaslinuxfest.org/sessions/decaffeinated-robot-devel... http://www.deepbluelambda.org/events/live/decaffeinated-robo... There are some comparisons of code size for the different languages and environments. That was probably the most informative talk I attended at the Linux Fest.

HN discussionIt's been a few months since I messed with it so it might not be as bad now, but the main problem for me was that Clojure on Android is slooowwww. This is mainly in terms of startup. You have to include the Clojure runtime with any programs you write with it and this is a substantial overhead on Android. Your binaries will be larger as a result as well. This is because, Clojure as a Lisp, expects the entire language…

HN discussionA short synopsis is that Clojure 1.2 works out of the box, but startup time is poor. According to the author of the REPL app, this is due to bootstrapping the Clojure runtime, specifically the clojure.core namespace. ( http://www.deepbluelambda.org/programming/clojure/creating-a... ) There is at least one fairly recent thread on the clojure group ( http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/... ) an…

HN discussionI (the creator of the REPL) have been writing about this on my blog at http://www.deepbluelambda.org . There is still much I have not yet covered, but it should all show up in the coming weeks.

HN discussionWhen I developed the application for my talk on non-Java development for Android [1], I found that Scala performed as quickly as plain Java. However, it does use a bit more heap. [1]: http://www.deepbluelambda.org/events/live/decaffeinated-robo...

HN discussionThere's actually more than one such library; just about a week and half ago I announced my own effort: Announcement: http://www.deepbluelambda.org/programs/baitha/announcing-bai... GitHub: https://github.com/sattvik/baitha The good news about these two libraries is that there is relatively little overlap, so it'd be great to get the best of both.
