Sure, there's a couple in this post: http://tonsky.me/blog/the-web-after-tomorrow/ http://tonsky.me/blog/the-web-after-tomorrow/
Humans think in language and as such the languages we use shape the ideas we can have, and as our ideas evolve we build upon old languages with new languages to express new ideas that old languages lacked the necessary atoms.
- grzm 10y agoOkay. I think we just have different expectations of the word "unthinkable".
- grzm 10y agoThis reads snarkier than intended. I appreciate Hickey and Nolen and the work they've done a lot.
- mej10 10y agoI write Clojure every day and enjoy it. I think Hickey/Nolen have clarified many ways of thinking about programming problems for me. I've learned a lot from them. But this level of marketing spiel can be off-putting -- especially when you provide examples that non-web architectures have been using for many years. Imagine I'm an experienced developer, and you've promised that I will be able to express previously unthinkable thoughts if I just learn what these guys are talking about. And then I look at it and it is exactly the same thing my colleagues and I have been doing for years in Java. What am I supposed to make of it?
