Clojure has reached sustainable traction. There are large companies using it. There are shops that work with it exclusively. There's no need to conquer the world ;) If some users are evangelizing too loudly, well, it happens everywhere

Disclaimer: I use both at work and prefer clojure. Common Lisp is huge , which is fine. In some concepts it is closer to traditional languages (mutable data structures, multiple inheritance OO, tools to write low-level efficient code). It

The clojurians zulip chat[1] offers a free, full-text-searchable archive of slack. Also, IMHO it's much better than slack for chatting. If only everyone switched! [1] https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/

That's false, building an uberjar has nothing to do wit that. If you're packaging an application typically your -main needs to be AOT compiled, that's why you put :gen-class in your ns declaration. That namespace will get AOT

Either you missed the context or are pulling a straw man. Building a simple VM is not unique, but can you build one that will be competitive with the other's in a reasonable timeframe?

Unless you provide one of - a simple VM implementation - code using a JIT framework - using Apache Impala on this particular dataset which performs on par and didn't take astonishingly long to write then these are just vague claims a

I think the point is just because there's an EOL doesn't mean everyone will be ready or even willing to jump the ship. Companies run all sorts of old software. In 2017 7% of PCs were running Windows XP[1], which had EOL in 2014[2]

I think (s)he was talking about BEAM. Using RabbitMQ makes no difference if you're not programming in Erlang. If you look at the BEAM VM you will see isolated processes, supervisors, restart strategies etc. Wikipedia[1] lists Erlang&#x

Way overthought. There's 3 things happening: 1. Waiting. We have `sleep` for that, or `at` or `cron` if one wanted a different interface. 2. Accepting seconds in a more user-friendly format. We should make a separate program for that s

Hard to say without context. Was the change discussed with the core team? Did they say yes and then suddenly backed out? Otherwise I don't see much reason for being frustrated.

Emacs has evil-mode which implements vim's bindings so of course this can be done. Give it a spin though, you might find that some of your customization isn't even needed here, the design is very clean and composable, even more th
