      There is an item called a structure block that consists of a 2d array of block types and their relative positions. Once you've defined a structure block in-game you can place copies of it into the world. That can really help with some of these larger projects to have some boilerplate.

      Additionally, there are some really interesting ways to build minecraft content with various programming languages. I'm aware of a Python[1] Library, a mod that provides in-game Lua scripting[2], and even a Clojure library used with Overtone/Supercollider[3] - be sure to check out that video for some incredible live-coded music with generated visuals.

      Latent semantic analysis can be used to measure the similarity of two documents.

      I found examples in ruby and python in this blog, which is unfortunately down just at the moment

      Piotr's article is a brief tutorial and includes sample code.

      Here's another article about micro-services with Clojure at SoundCloud, with much more depth and industrial scale, by Joseph Wilk:
