I wonder if they have fallen or if this is just a matter of perception. Obviously something positive is going on there.

And billing, I guess. Ok.

I do not understand your point. If someone wants to learn Clojure, she certainly knows about Clojure. But she may not know (or care) about Leiningen, Emacs and the rest.

Diversity is helpful, not necessarily essential. Not just diversity of gender (or, say, race). Also diversity of life experiences, ideologies, etc. One of the best things about having studied in an American university for me was the number

I agree to a large extent, but not 100%. Here is why. You correctly said that Physics majors do not study which details of bridge building. Indeed this is part of a different major (Civil Engineering, I suppose). In contrast, Computer Scien

I would say that an intrinsic weakness of CS (and, probably, any other engineering) education is that a lot of the curriculum is targeted towards a past goal. CS is not just science but also industry, arguably in some ways more industry tha

Another difference is the low barrier to entry for editing. This, I think, is a more important difference because it not only leads to much faster corrections but also allows almost anyone to participate (in most cases).

Interesting - any place I could read about the reasons? Thanks!

It's not a story. It's a paradox. The tortoise loses, but the paradox pitches logic against intuition and is thus educational, like a koan (from a different cultural tradition). I am not sure if it is applicable to Clojure (as well as Arc a

A choice between a node and an attribute is not always clear, but there are helpful guidelines out there. A search for xml nodes versus attributes will give you a list of articles to ponder -- sorry for not being more detailed, but I am a

I paid them a little just to support them. A failed attempt is better than no attempt. That said, I tend to agree with most of what Jason said. Their pitch is much more sales than substance at this point.

people who would have gone into something like economics instead went into computer science Even if that is so (why then?) I do not see how it is related to "technology replac[ing] skilled labor positions". Could you please elabo

Or it means you left in search of a better place. I guess it's the New World/Old World thing.

I agree, this is a strange claim. On the other hand (as long as we are with Clojure), something like (->> employees parallelize maintain-order) might be said to be more attractive because it looks more linear. The sequential o

Clojure is compact and expressive, but there is a learning curve. Having data-centered and function-oriented programming features available for the mainstream is a great step forward. (Think mainstream programmers, not just mainstream langu

As they used to say, why not just go all the way to Lisp instead of etc? Just so as not to scare people off.

I found that having some equipment at home helps too. I am using Total Gym and it was the best investment of $200 I have made so far.

Well, it is useful but not universal, and may be a bit confusing in a few places. For example, the "repl" entry for Common Lisp is M-x slime which of course is Emacs-specific (and M-x shell for Clojure is setup-specific on top of that). The

Nobody can really believe the US wants to CONQUER Iraq There are many people who believe precisely that, precisely in the sense you mentioned. In the US too, not just in the Middle East. I do not think there are many ways to rationa

Actually, thinking about it, it does! "People under people" is a metaphorical description of a business, and they "exploit capitalism", that is, use it to their advantage, selling products and living off the profit. But, of course, that is

The problem that capitalism perpetuates is the constant exploitation of the lower echelons. "Under capitalism, people exploit people. Under socialism, it's the other way around!"
