I used to have lot of open, long-standing concerns about the future of programming and productivity, but my sabbatical last year finally brought me some clojure.
Mh, out of Steve Yegge's mouth, that's interesting to hear. I guess emacs is his tool of choice now¹ and Clojure's performance is pretty good from what I've heard.

- scrame 16y agoI've been wondering when he would get to clojure, given how much he has covered lisp and emacs, even going so far as to promote emacs because as "the last stronghold for lisp programmers". Given his involvement with foo camp, and his coverage of other dynamic languages, I thought at times his absence was partly explained just by finally finding something that seemed like such a close fit.
- johkra 16y agoYep! I use emacs + swank-clojure + slime. So, the future (of dynamic language tools) is actually the past. I'll have to give it a try - I'm surely interested in seeing what ideas can be stolen for another language's editor.
