I'm not quite sure why my stuff keeps hitting the front page, but I'm here for it.
I've since abandoned janet for web app side projects and gone back to ruby entirely but yeah, I still love lisp but it makes more sense to align my work programming language with my side projects that way I can ship my side projects faster, at least that's the thought now.
- capableweb 4y agoAs the submitter of this story, I can tell you about why this one landed there. I found the link via the discussion on the previous one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30917772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30917772) and submitted it shortly afterwards (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30929823 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30929823). It didn't end up on the frontpage though, but I got invited to submit it to the "second chance pool" (https://news.ycombinator.com/invited https://news.ycombinator.com/invited) where submissions get exposed to the frontpage for X hours and if they manage to stay up, they stay there naturally. Seems like people enjoy your writing enough to make it stay for at least some moments :) As a Clojure fanatic, I too enjoy your writing and hoped to stir up some interesting discussions around Clojures weak-points by submitting this story.
- swlkr 4y agoI'm not sure if it's about clojure's weak points or my own weak points haha
- spacemanmatt 4y agoheh, that's literally the most relatable commentary in this whole topic
