I wonder why they are using Schema instead of Spec. Schema was popular before the latter existed, I didn’t realize anyone still uses it.

  That is probably exactly why they are using it ... you don't get to 250k lines of code overnight.

    My understanding is that the company is a few years younger than Spec, but perhaps the code base is very very old.

      Schema is a good library. Everyone seems to use spec today, but Schema easier to use than spec IMO. Spec is also still in alpha, with spec2 still under development.

        We used clojure.spec in production for years. "Alpha" just means the API could change.

  I still prefer Schema because I find it more much more readable.
  • synthc 5y ago
    yes i also prefer it. With Schema, the defined schema's are normal vars, which you can jump to with editor support. With spec i'm always searching for the definitions.
