You could also think about why Nathan Marz may have bothered to create it.
As for data engineering, I think ChatGPT could tell you a lot, and its training is dated from 2021.
- KingMob 3y agoAs someone who tried very hard to incorporate specter into their speech-to-text pipeline, I feel compelled to point out, it gave me a lot of NullPointerExceptions while learning. I don't think it's a great example of the value of dynamically-typed langs. In retrospect, Marz's hope that specter might get incorporated in clj core was wildly optimistic (even if the core team wasn't hostile to outsider contributions), because it feels like he built it to his own satisfaction, and never got around to removing the sharp edges that newcomers cut themselves on. It's a shame, because I think specter is a cool idea, and would love to see a language based on its ideas.
