Isn't the future viability of a system irrelevant when you're trying to game it for money at today's price? Does a "vested interest in high prices" stop anyone from gaming any economy, or is it a vested interest in

My Clojure experience doesn't really help me with Datomic, although my knowledge of Clojure isn't very deep. That hard part about Datomic for me is that there's no book of best practices or any sort of cookbook that I'm

A recap of your pleasant original comment: "Don't get me wrong, it's a nifty little app. You probably learned a lot! That said, it's still just a toy campus app." A morsel of value from the worl

I've been using it on my past few small projects where I would've otherwise used Postgres, so I mostly have CRUD-level experience with it with no meaningful insights within the rest of this comment. The query interface (Datalog:

Nothing good can come out of knowing who unfriends you. I guarantee it will just make you feel a little worse about yourself.

I think all noobs should still get lein. (Install it in 1 second with your package manager) That way they can run `lein new <project-name>` to get the app skeleton created. Then open it with Lighttable. In fact, anyone that wants to c

I think it's just used to mitigate the edge of an assertion. Or make it seem more like a declaration than some point you're willing to vehemently defend. In other words, imho I don't think it really means *beep* *boop* e

Because it's just a library. I don't think it's as easy or prudent to hop between languages as you make it out to be. To turn it around, if you can extend your language with features, why would you introduce a whole new langu

The difference is that Rails and the popular gems involve some of the highest abstractions I've ever used. It's like that by design. There's nothing inherently bad about it. Here's the typical workflow for adding a gem:

Yeah, at first it's much faster to bang out a prototypical CRUD app with Rails. `gem install devise`, a few more incantations, and now you've got a full authentication/forgot-password/email-verification system up and run

Clojure has been my go-to web dev language for a less than a year. My Clojure workflow is much better than my Ruby workflow. It's easier to glue things together. My feedback loops are faster (like being able to eval code in my source f

If you're interested in Clojure but want to avoid the JVM, then I would think Scheme would be the better choice than Common Lisp since it's functional like Clojure.

It was easy to dismiss Clojure for Scala and Haskell when I was first exploring functional programming. Clojure was alien. When extrapolating what it might be like to work with Clojure, prefix notation (+ 1 2) was an obvious downgrade to in

Haha, I had a double-take when I clicked the link. I didn't mean to misrepresent core.async. I just heard about it one day and got compelled enough by a walkthrough[1] to convince myself I could figure enough of it out to make somethin

I doubt davecat is coming from a life of social abundance. And "revel in the presence of other people!" probably isn't going to cajole you from the dungeon when social trauma is what mired you in your funk to begin with. He p

Yeah, you're right. I would love if every Clojure function came with an example input and output. What I meant to suggest is that my docstring example is something that could be expressed in code.

The opening paragraphs really resonated with me including that code example that can be replaced with any function I wrote yesterday. A lot of my time in Clojure is spent re-reading and repl-evaluating my function implementations just to re

Every time Facebook is brought up, some of us attempt to enumerate the reasons why we ostensibly hate Facebook. But frequently our list just looks like an inventory of our own self-limiting beliefs, bitterness, and narcissism. Perhaps we re

Note: I only have experience with my one-man Clojure projects. My favorite poor-man's test-feedback-loop in Clojure is to use the built-in core.assert function to put tests at the bottom of the source file in combination with my editor
