That raised my eyebrow as well.
Semi-recently I was interested in learning Datalog so I wanted to kick the tires on Datomic (written in Clojure). I ended up getting stuck on some things; posted questions to StackOverflow and didn't get a response. I then realized the Clojure tag is very low volume + engagement.
Then someone on Twitter told me that I'd be better off asking questions in the Clojurians Slack channel. So I go to sign up and... the signup link is broken. Had to flag down someone on Twitter or IRC to fix it.
As an outsider I felt a whiff of decay from the Clojure community (no offense)
- agumonkey 6y agoThe whole article felt it's coming from a traditional / industrial OO (everybody happy about UML usually doesn't see the world as I do). broken slack links or not, the community is not as large as the author seems to convey.
- mxz3000 6y agoDo people actually use UML in industry? I've never actually seen it used (or mentioned for that matter) in the few years I've been a software engineer...
- agumonkey 6y agoffff .. fff most probably yeah, at least there are some informal uses whenever you make some diagram docs .. you'll end up aligning with uml 'vocab'. I helped a european project on a uml graph versioning between various industrial uml applications, but I'd consider these niche. IBM was heavy on UML since they bought Rational suite.. but I know IBM didn't use Rational for themselves (at least my department).. but surely Rational users did. I think heavily regulated sectors are the most prevalent users of UML.. they like having a standard, having a lot of documentation etc.
