To be fair, they had to buy Cognitect to cope with the technical debt of Clojure and Datomic.

While all of this is true and interop can save you from being completely stuck in a problem on many occasions, the interop is not as seamless as many advertise, at least not in Clojure, don't know about F#. Many times in Clojure is eas

That article is disingenuous, the startup time of "hello world" in Clojure is still pretty bad but tolerable, the issue arises when you start to add libraries, now your web service can take from 1-2 minutes or more to start.

To expand: Compared to JS, yes, it's slow. You can make Clojure run faster but you will be writing Java with parenthesis not Clojure. Startup times are indeed atrocious, in Clojure the REPL is obligatory and not optional because of thi

What's so impressive about V8? that billions of dollars have being pour into it to make it fast? for a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place?

Did they stop working in the dev tools?

And create bad piano habits that are harder to correct later, but sure, depends on your goals.

True, but everyday more and more libraries are getting tedious to use in blocking mode.

Node has a better runtime than ruby or python, so why not? and you also have TS.

My take is that bad programmers represent information as data as an afterthought.

Still... $450 for the CPU only vs a $999 laptop, for most use cases the apple's MBA offers much more value and will have slower depreciation.

Was referring to the destkop version but yeah, Firefox(with uBlock) has been working great for me on android and prefer it much over chrome there.

Firefox lacks in the default UX area, just from the top of my head: Print to PDF is better in Chrome, comes with a preview. Search marks matches in the scroll bar. Opening a recently closed tab opens a new tab in Chrome instead of replacing

What can it do that Citus can't while being less compatible with postgres?

Many in the "serverless" all crowd are blind to this.

Perhaps if Rust had five mutually incompatible borrow-checkers which get called based on who wrote the code for a particular language construction-- that might get across the frustration I feel when using the shell. You mean like the five

As a macos user I selected linux because that's where I run emacs(remote servers).

Unless you want to ship a 5MB browser bundle for a 'hello world', advanced compilation is not necessary, is obligatory.

Clojurescript relies on the closure compiler which doesn't play well with the Javascript ecosystem. Too much "busy work" https://dev.solita.fi/2020/06/25/taming-cljs-advanced-compil...

Did Clojure made you unemployed?

I was a Java programmer Most Java programmers get enlightened and feel relieved as you did when they switched to language X from Java. Is a recurring theme, not specific to Clojure.

by Scarbutt 6y ago
Yep,and they were forced to buy Cognitect too to deal's with their Clojure/Datomic mess.

They want you to use Aurora instead.

by Scarbutt 6y ago
Not a library but you can achieve the same with less work using amazon aurora postgres.
