I'd say the step-by-step hint process is the secret sauce. It mimics an actual interview scenario (where a generous interviewer might be willing to help you along) while teaching by example some structured ways to break down the proble

Clojure strongly encourages referential transparency (e.g. immutable data structures), but doesn't demand it (e.g. STM). The convention is simply to mark any function with side-effects with a !, which almost all external libraries foll

It's important to note that the "Mincome" experiment provided a Guaranteed Minimum income , not a Basic Income . The distinction being that the former started to drop off if the recipients earned more than some threshold (a

The nice thing about Vim mode is that it glosses over latency by making simple edits take fewer keystrokes. It's sort of why vi was invented. In the words of Bill Joy himself: > ... you've got to remember that I was trying to m

My guess would be that a translator receives the original text along with Google Translate's (or some other service's) version, and then proofreads it using the original as a reference.

I feel using a library like this would constitute a good reason.

I think it's definitely worth starting with just compojure, or even just ring. I don't know of any other language/library where writing request/response handlers is so approachable ( notwithstanding any commentary on th

I think the hiccup style is a bit dangerous myself. It's great for a one-man show, or a situation where everyone who would ever have to touch the HTML is a developer, but personally I find it's a pain in my ass when it's my p

I used to agree with the common objection that Clojure has poor documentation coverage, but then I realized that, usually, reading the source code was an excellent way to get a handle on things, given the habit of functional purity that Clo

Leiningen just insists you give your project a name. But, in the common case, you used `lein new` to create your project folder, and a basic config is provided by that.

Storm (and Trident) are just fantastic. If you're looking for a streaming complement (or replacement!) for Hadoop, you can't go wrong here.

I'm not sure Julia is the most appropriate for this application. It's nominally general-purpose, sure, and you can run a web server from it, but you can do that with any language with a socket library and strings. Would you make a

There are many things in Elixir that seem to be inspired by Clojure and/or lisp in general (which I think is great, by the way): * AST-level macros with quote/unquote * Reducers (efficient list processing) * Protocols (which are l
