I just want to note that with an advanced type system, "type testing" can cover a lot more than people seem to give it credit for. An example I saw someone give on here the other day was that he had the types for his red black tr

If you participate in a SWAT raid on a barber shop on any level, you are not an honorable or good person.

That sounds like saying assembly is well suited to web programming because Ruby compile down to it eventually.

How could you think that's a remotely credible threat?

Well, it's not so much syntactic sugar as having the power to abstract them away via generic functions like map, which I'd argue are both more clear and less error prone.

Sounds like our representation system is entirely broken, I'm not sure how fixing the media would change that.

These are all excellent, that wiki page is surprisingly easy to understand. Thanks.

A more detailed explanation on how those IoC threads work would be awesome too if someone's going to be explaining things to children would be great.

It is, thank you.

13 years wouldn't be reasonable if he wrote it in someone else's blood.

Just iterating doesn't make any copies. Replace iterating over with modifying. Efficient immmutable data structures are easily one of Clojure best features. Easiest trade off ever (though the actual hit to performance isn't that

2 I think is an agree to disagree moment, I just don't really care for OO. I agree on three though, and I think the way Clojure handles mutable state is excellent, but it's a good thing that it's not trivial to just say x = 5

vim/emacs autoindent clojure just fine I love that s-exps are totally unambiguous and find them easy to read personally.

Clojure is the language I find easiest to read because of it's minimal syntax. I guess while I'm here, my feelings on the other points: 2) good, it's a functional language 3) Clojure's state management is excellent, disc

We recognize what he did was a crime, but we agree it was the right thing to do, why is there any reason to punish someone for what we agree is right? Preventing harm to the public is a great reason to leak information, and the people thin

I haven't watched many others, but I'll definitely second that DAS is excellent.

Excuse me miss may I please sit close to you and touch you? May I kiss you now? How exactly do you think people should go about this kind of thing?

You don't have to disrespect women to understand that they largely want the guy to make the first move. I don't get what all the hate here is about.

In my mind Clojure is an easy win unless you're writing short running things that need to boot fast (though you could consider clojurescript + node for that). Both languages have good support for concurrency, but for me Cl

I'd be interested in hearing more about what you find restrictive besides forward declarations, which I've never found to be a big deal. As a side note, there was a pretty interesting discussion on HN between Steve Yegge and Rich

F# and the CLR aren't proprietary?

To be fair it's implemented in Clojurescript I'm pretty sure.

I'm doing something for fun with Clojurescript and node-webkit and for me it's mostly that I want the fast start up time, but also to get to just work with html instead of having to learn a gui framework. Also I just want to menti

I can only speak for clojurescript, but I'm ok with trading off some debugging pain for way better semantics / nicer code.

Is thinking these problems are likely common across all gigantic companies really so egregious?

It'd be naive to not think about it.
