First of all, I am declaring online bankruptcy with respect to the obligations that I don't have time for, or interest in maintaining. That is:
- I am archiving all the email in my in-box. Anything that needed a response will not get one.
- I am shelving my open-source projects. Yes - they are dead (although the code may find new life in other projects).
- I am closing down the Yahoo groups I own.
To that end, I will be thinking about two big Clojure projects:
- Visual Clojure (see my previous ramblings about visual representations for Scheme)
- Clojure for other platforms - namely AVM2 (Flash) and Objective-C.
Initially, I will be using OmniGraffle as my modeling tool but may build other tools that are more open-source friendly. The modeling languages will be OWL2 and RDF, processed by Prolog (on the JVM) and other related technologies such as SPARQL and Pellet.
I expect to continue shaving many yaks, but I plan to do it without guilt.

Shaving yaks, interesting. The unexplainable crap you gotta do so eventually, you can do the stuff that can be explained (to non-programmers.)
Hello, Nick!
Could you please provide short notes on status of very interesting j2avm project which can help to enable polyglott programming on Adobe Flash Platform?
Hi Sergey,
I am working on ontologies (OWL models) for JVM and SWF/AVM2 file formats and bytecode semantics.
Recreating JavaSWF (and "AS-SWF", and "Scheme-SWF") via code-generation is the first use-case. Bytecode-translation (generated from a mapping model) is probably next - although it will more likely be via a higher-level intermediate language (RDF-based) that can express the core semantics of JVM, Scheme, JavaScript, and Clojure.
The bottom line is that the current J2AVM codebase is dead, but the goal of cross-platform development is very much alive.
Very interesting. Keep working! Thanks.
