Glenn Vanderburg - Cló: The Algorithms of TeX in Clojure
ClojureTV
Glenn Vanderburg presents Cló, a Clojure library that reimplements TeX's core typesetting algorithms as composable functions. He shows what translating procedural, literate-programming code into functional form teaches.
HN recommends it for its insight into Knuth's TeX algorithms and what changes when they are rewritten functionally.
