It seems like within a week of me trying in earnest to adopt Clojure as another language in my arsenal, HN starts having a lot more regular Clojure visitors to the front page. Is this just confirmation bias, or does it seem to other HNers like Clojure is getting more traction and attention these days?
- westoncb 12y agoI was feeling that too, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of paying attention from having an interest. I notice the same thing when I move to a new city: I move to San Francisco and it seems like everyone's talking about SF in my reading; I move to Boston and it's the same thing.
- hoprocker 12y agoClojure certainly seems one of the darling languages on HN (along with Haskell, Rust, Go). The thing that _I'm_ noticing all of a sudden is the uptick in articles on category theory -- which, similarly, I was only made aware of about 3 weeks ago. Is there a graphical representation somewhere of buzzwords appearing on HN over time? If not -> hack-a-thon project.
