HN: Help me choose a Clojure project

by petesalty on 12/23/09, 10:22 PM with 4 comments

I'm looking to learn more about Clojure and, of course, the best way to learn is to do. I'd like to do a small project, maybe around 4 to 6 weeks total, and I'm sure I could come up with something, but I thought I'd throw it open to HN and see what others might suggest, to get to know some of Clojures strengths and weaknesses. Whatever I end up doing I'll blog about and release as OSS, hopefully providing something back to the community.

Suggest away.

    Im sort of in a similar position. I've writen only a few toy apps in clojure. Im thinking about writing some sort of game. There are a few clojure versions of snake, tetris and pong floating around the net, so i have were to look at to learn, but im thinking about something a little more complicated than a tetris clone.

    I'm planning to learn Clojure too. I plan to write a Durus (http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/durus/) server. There is nothing Python specific (AFAIK) about the server and it's small and clean enough to be a good project.
