Funnyduck99 is probably mocking all the people that go into HN posts about Clojure to complain about how their team of non-Clojure programmers went to work on a Clojure project and it was a bad experience.
- Funnyduck99 4y agoNo I genuinely don't like clojure because I just finished my first clojure class, it was also my first functional language and it was online and i am bad at learning online so thats why.
- dgb23 4y agoThat’s a much more interesting comment than the top level one. People generally care about learning experiences and explicitly subjective statements.
- OliverM 4y agoSounds like any functional language would have disappointed in that case?
- Funnyduck99 4y agoyup thats what i said
- eyelidlessness 4y agoI hope you get an opportunity to explore it (FP, whether Clojure or otherwise) in a more conducive environment. It sounds like this wasn’t the best learning environment for you, and that’s totally valid, but there’s a lot of good stuff to learn if you’re in an environment that suits you.
- rawoke083600 4y agoLPT: While learning Clojure, the following (almost always true) mental-model help me massively at "getting" Clojure. "It's Maps All the Day Down" Spend a lot of time, just learning how you (CRUD) map contents. There will be enough time to tackle the other cases/tech (atoms, protocols etc) but until you get good at maps don't get bogged down by the other cool stuff.
- lenkite 4y ago"It's Maps All the Day Down" In reality - its actually Trees all the way down. But, because you don't have proper structures in Clojure, one uses Maps when one should actually be using Trees.
- rawoke083600 4y agoLol talk about missing "the forest for the trees".
