I never saw that initial post or the Ruby versions until, this looks really cool, I'll probably be trying it out in the next couple of days, thanks.

I've never really understood why people want such long prison sentences. Is that guy going to be any more reformed after 20 years than 5?

Overzealous prosecutors hurt people accused of every kind of crime, making them accountable is a pretty far reaching cause.

Maybe I don't understand referential transparency, but why not? `or` is a macro in Clojure: (def a 10) (def b 20) (or a b) => 20 Is `or` not referentially transparent?

One of Clojure's goals is to interop well with its host platform, which it does in both cases. I'm not sure I'd count that trade off as a wart.

The JVM still doesn't do tail call optimization but Clojure has a special form, recur, that you can only use in tail position and doesn't use consume stack space. An example: https://gist.github.com/4493547 (loop is like let but works wi

Clojure is very capable for web development, but getting started is not as clear cut as it is with something like Rails or Django. This is because the Clojure community tends to eschew large frameworks, and instead prefers using smaller, m

I'm coming from a Clojure perspective (around a year of using it), so maybe some of this stuff is different with CL, but Clojure is incredibly simple compared to C++ and in my experience there's no problem with everyone simply using the ent

Install rlwrap, but then just always stick to `lein repl`. It's pretty rare to ever need to run Clojure without lein.

Yeah this is pretty important to note, it seems like most Clojure this job posting are like this too unfortunately.

I'm not sure if it's just a mindset thing or the stuff I've used it for, but I've never felt the immutability got in the way, it's one of the things I miss most when using other language.

They're affiliate links, if you buy anything off amazon within 24 hours of clicking one of them, he gets a cut.

Also laughable.

A whole lot of people who try to get started with Clojure without lein never actually get to a repl or runnable project.

Sounds about right.

I don't know how to make a bookmark on the "desktop" of my phone, and I'd rather use an app than look it up.

It would seem to me that when you make 600k a year, paying more taxes isn't as painful either.

Was that just a way to bring up that earthquake, or do you actually live in fear of natural disasters day to day?

I suppose it's a bit different from a user facing login, but does anyone know why these limits tend to be set so low? I've locked myself out of plenty of things, and so have plenty of people I know. It seems like setting the limit to 20 w

Yeah, establishing that baseline of 2-3k works is what makes most of what you read comprehensible, and allows you to pick up more vocabulary and understanding through context, which I think is pretty much the key. I actually do think it mi

The freedom to do what you wish with your body is a pretty gigantic positive. Also there's the pleasure of smoking weed for those who are into it. What's the positive affect french fries have on society?

How did you manage to miss that?

You aren't the first person I've seen that mention that goes ignores a lot of programming research. Would you mind expanding on that for someone who doesn't know much about PL research / theory? Are they missing things you think a modern

I must have used a lot of non-standard websites in the past I guess, I definitely would have expected hitting enter to have submitted my email.

I was immediately reminded of Rich Hickey's talk, hammock driven development: http://blip.tv/clojure/hammock-driven-development-4475586 . It sounds like he was onto something with the waking mind being being prone to finding local maxima,

I think it'd be pretty hard to argue otherwise.

I think it just means add memoization, I don't think there's anything javascript specific about it.

Worse community. I just want /hn/programming.
