"A downside is that the compiler won't warn you if you break some constraint that invalidates the model of whatever the map is meant to represent. For example, if you remove a value from the map necessary for a certain computation (Clojure

How about a ruby/lisp flamewar? :-) J/K. In all seriousness though, I've recently moved to Clojure from Ruby. I'm not looking back. Clojure is significantly cleaner, faster, and has better libraries than Ruby.

As a percentage, it's probably smaller than the percentage of gifted programmers using lisp/haskell/erlang. However, it's a small percentage of a huge number. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are more talented C/C++ hackers than FP h

Naive question: Why is the immediate switchover necessary? Can't you run the same site on foo.net and foo.com, and turn on redirecting from .net to .com AFTER google updates its index?

Additionally, why are email programs not capable of being good RSS feeds, and how is RSS so different from email that the concepts don't apply? I'm one of the Google Reader crowd. I have a second client (thunderbird) that I use solely for c

Ruby is not a good language though. It's not consistent, it's not lexically scoped, it's slow and it's std library is immature. There are similar arguments aginst Python, but less so. As far as strong benefits of clojure: concurrency, it's

I don't really care that much about which industry I'm in. I just want to make successful, quality products. I'm kind of interested in fixing the morass that is web-app technologies. The current technology stack of SQL + server side languag

I wish I knew. :-) I've heard it's fairly good though. Probably 3rd in the country behind the valley and Boston.

I live in Austin, TX. I'm young-ish (26), team lead of 10 engineers on several shipped products. I've written production code: linux kernel C, userspace C, python, ruby, win32 c++, java. I've rewritten the build system of a 500k LoC C proje
