Gajure Now on Clojars

By Ethan | Published: February 22, 2010
Gajure, my small genetic algorithm framework, is now up on Clojars. Hopefully, this should make it much more convenient to use in a real project. I also added Leiningen support, and if you use Clojure with any frequency, I’d recommend checking that out.

By Ethan | Published: December 23, 2009
Courtesy of Hacker News, this morning I stumbled upon a blog post mentioning :pre and :post assertions, a new feature in version 1.1 of Clojure. Given the rather messy nature of several functions in Gajure (my toy genetic algorithm framework), it seemed to me that I had an ideal opportunity to make use of this [...]

On Parallelism

By Ethan | Published: October 7, 2009
Recently, I read an article describing someone’s experiments in parallel genetic programming, and so I decided to run my own. As has been mentioned, I am quite fond of functional languages; for me, easy parallelism is simply a pleasant bonus. I do think its worth noting, however, that while functional programming may be generally awesome, throwing [...]

A Genetic Algorithm Framework in Clojure

By Ethan | Published: September 3, 2009
functional languages. They are wonderfully powerful, and can easily abstract away a basic algorithm that one might apply to many kinds of problems. With this in mind, I decided to build a framework for constructing genetic algorithms in Clojure.
