Julian Gamble writes Cool Pacific, a personal blog at juliangamble.com about programming. Since 2012, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 15 times, most often “Lisp Books living again in Clojure”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-26, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its Clojure Swing GUI demos, such as a planetary orbitals demo and 3D graphing of an equation. The one comment cites these posts as examples of Clojure Swing work.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

There is a book called The Little Schemer (was The Little Lisper) - a book all about recursion. This is a quote from a review: Little Schemer is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read on the subject of recursion, and what is interesting because they never really go into a formal definition of what recursion is, as most texts on computer science try to. Instead they show the reader time and time again…

HN discussionThe Clojure language was introduced with an ant Colony demo by Rich Hickey. He was using it to demonstrate concurrency primitives in Clojure. You can see screenshots and read code here: http://juliangamble.com/blog/2011/12/28/clojure-gui-demo-of-...
