I only have not-nice things to say about Node, JavaScript, and its ecosystem, The NPM ecosystem can be frustrating and annoying sometimes but today nodejs is a solid server runtime.

CockroachDB has always had a reputation of being slow, 10x-20x slower than the same operation being made in Postgres, with this and the issues about binary size, was a GC language like Go the right choice for CK? Would you have pick somethi

Is there really anything more productive than JS/TS for these kind of things?

One tends to think of parsing/compiling as a fairly esoteric skillset that a relatively small number of programmers Parsing is the easy/not so interesting part of a compiler.

Surprisingly IdeaVim, has become pretty good.

The lesson for me is that this particular problem is exceptionally well suited for imperative code, and makes functional code look terrible in comparison. This is the case for 80% of real world code in IME.

GraalVM is not a drop-in replacement for the JVM and Rhino is slow as molasses compared to V8.

Yep, I vastly prefer Clojure over JS/Python as a programming language but I'll pick JS/TS/Python first any day for real apps for the reasons you mention.

"the application's entire data model is a big indistinguishable ball of mud," seems to be commenting discipline. And commenting discipline is always terrible. From Rich Hickey's "History of Clojure"[1]: Not

The benefits of using Clojurescript over JS/TS in 2021 are superficial and not worth it IMO. Typescript is great, has good tooling and plays nice with the JS ecosystem. With Clojurescript you spent more time fighting integration with t

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Streams API.

Only the zealots are left using it. You can see this in how many Clojure posts make it to the front page but have very little comments.

but with objects and arrays you can only pass by reference. It's still pass by value, you are passing the reference of the object as a value.

The must impactful difference is going to be libraries/ecosystem. Go has a very rich ecosystem now.

He meant running Emacs on the remote server which IMO is even better than using vscode's remote plugin.

There's is also replace-regexp which doesn't ask for confirmation but doesn't have a default keybinding.

A different way of doing the same thing for text editing, on which both are great. I use evil-mode just because of muscle memory from vim. I have been using a jetbrain IDE recently and surprisingly, the vim plugin is pretty decent. So knowi

The problem with SQL is that it is a string and simple errors, like an extra comma, are not caught by the compiler/interpreter. Why not test it at the Clojure REPL?

Yeah, I'll will say plain SQL is even simpler here.

I really don't see what's promising about prisma. Lots of condescending stuff in their docs making SQL sound as something only a few can learn. It's extremely over-hyped, immature and buggy. But they are a startup so...
