I was not claiming that, just that also big companies use it. It may not be used for the core of the business but I'm convinced the services that are build with Clojure are reliable, because the language is solid.

Don't bother, I have the feeling randmeerkat will argue that if the team is so big, the language must be not expressive!

Tell that to Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Cognitect and all enterprises that produce reliable and performant software with it everyday.

It makes the code impure (that is with side-effects). One can also argue that if you can encode the potential errors in the type they are not exceptional. It's not that bad though, because you get much less of these kind of errors than

I was also thinking as Rust as a backend for a FP language in the last day. I found some Ocaml binding for Rust. It would be interesting to see how it fits.

> Maybe the problem with C++ is that it tries too hard to preserve backwards compatibility? That's a funny one. The whole history of C++ is being backward compatible, originally with C.

PureScript would almost fit :-). It would just need a modern Haskell backend but having a strict language built on a lazy-one is probably not the best idea :-).

It's amazing and I love the language but I also did not see any great innovations around Clojure in the last years, after ClojureScript for example.

We will see. Can you move local numpys computations on a cluster by just adding a few lines of code? Because this certainly will be possible with Elixir. Most importantly it may allow Elixir developers to not switch to C or Rust for intensi

I have also found that most TDD practitioners don't even know about generative tests (QuickCheck and similars), when these kind of tests - when well written - can catch much more subtle bugs than unit tests. Also there is a time where

There is but it's mostly not how OO programs are built. And even assuming you have most of the core of your program behaving properly and clearly with non-mutable objects. What do you gain from having objects at this point?

I should have written almost always . You can but it's not common. It's like saying you can write functional programing in C. You can but the whole ecosystem is not doing it. If you set attributes, you know for sure that they cha

Except the binding always implies the object is mutated on changes, which make any form of reasoning or concurrent programming difficult.

Did you try that? Was it good?

The argument is that since Javascript was the only programming language running in the browser, it was bound to be successful with the explosion of the web ; other arguments trying to justify why it succeed are not relevant.

GUI builder for desktop applications in 90s were really useful in increasing the productivity of programmers. It is sad to see how complex it is to build the UI of a web application in comparison. And there is no definite answer on the best

I put the mouse between the two parts of my Ergodox. It decreases the elbow movements and the tension. You can also program the keyboard to control the mouse pointer but I found it not practical.

Congratulations to Fogus, a very inspiring person. Will this affect the number of books he reads per year :-) ?

Thanks for creating Elixir. Before using it and going through the website and docs I thought it would be good but once I started to use it, I discovered it is excellent.

For hate speech there is already facebook! You could have control at each node, deciding with whom you federate. You can also have a crowded moderation, similar to HN.

Biggest problem I had with Haskell was once you know the language you also need to learn a pile of extensions that any serious project is using. Also there is a tendency in the community to always look for the "best" (abstract) so
