Global Tech Company Contegix to Sponsor Open Source Language Project Clojure

PR Newswire -- July 28, 2010



ST. LOUIS, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Contegix, a privately held technology firm specializing in Internet infrastructure and hosting services, announced their agreement to provide sponsorship to Clojure development language project.



"At Contegix, we have a history that runs deep in the open source community, and look for ways to give back in any way that we can to help support efforts which push this technology forward. Clojure represents the next wave of languages that are designed to take advantage of the features of today's computers, especially multi-core processors. We saw this as an opportunity to provide our expertise in managed service to allow the Clojure community to focus on development rather than infrastructure management," said Matthew Porter, CEO and Co-Founder of Contegix.



Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java(TM) Virtual Machine (and the CLR). It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime.



"The Clojure development team is delighted to be sponsored by Contegix. Contegix has a long history of supporting quality open source projects. We now have build.clojure.org and dev.clojure.org on Contegix managed cloud hosting, and will be working in the coming months to make access to Clojure resources more simple and reliable than ever before. The entire Clojure community thanks Contegix for their support," remarked Stu Halloway, a Clojure Committer.

ABOUT CLOJURE

Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs.
