I started doing that one a while ago in DrScheme, and figured I'd revisit it with Clojure. I'm planning on posting about it within the next few days, as soon as I get over a strange mental block that I've hit with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Euclidean_algorithm" rel="nofollow">Extended Euclidean Algorithm</a>. In the original exercise, the code for this was given, but it's not quite Clojure-compatible, so I'm reimplementing it...

]]> Comment on Use a “guard” to simplify your code structure by James Cooper http://blog.chilly.ca/?p=273&cpage=1#comment-8197 James Cooper Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:56:05 +0000 http://blog.chilly.ca/?p=273#comment-8197 I'm with you on this one, Tony. Breaking out of a function as early as you can not only makes it clear what the error conditions are, it also lets you read through the meat of the code without having to trace a bunch of scattered edge cases. It makes the separation between expected and exceptional much clearer. I’m with you on this one, Tony.

I totally forgot about Lua. Anything that means I write less C is good in my books ;) Hah! :)

Come on, there are tons of books that teach you a language in 24 hours - wuss. But seriously, I think one month might be too light. Overall a good idea though. It might be neat to implement a largish project (the same one) in each language and see how they vary. I recommend putting Lua on your list though. It is a really good language and the nice thing is it is very usable in many places (due to it's small size, fast interpretation and ease of embedding into C). 1 month?! So long!?
