>The book itself uses Java, not Clojure. Almost all of the code examples in the book are in JavaScript (not Java) though a significant feature of Sharvit's approach is that it decouples Data Oriented Programming from any specific language. As a Clojure geek, I highly recommend the book as the way to achieve some of Clojure's core virtues in other languages.

A successful architecture for AI app generation will apply DDD using data-context-iteraction (DCI) in conjunction with Data-Oriented Programming as described by Yehonathan Sharvit: https://blog.klipse.tech/dop/2022/06/22/principles-of-dop.ht... Note that the "DOP" espoused by Brian Goetz and others complicates AI app generation. It stipulates…

The latter can happen separately, and extremely quickly. See also Data-Oriented Programming. Sharvit, Yehonathan. Manning 2022. Principles of Program Design. M.A. Jackson. 1975. SAM Pattern.
