In case you don't know, early compilers were developed under the hype term "automatic programming". COBOL was designed to be used by business people. Whether it is connecting wires, punching cards, typing in an IDE, connectin

reminds me of a segment from HHGG in which a species started to make noise so they won't hear each others' thoughts.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. That is a brilliant reference to a brilliant movie.

"dynamic programming" and "dynamic programming language" and "dynamically typed programming language" are all different terms and mean different things.

The product is really cool, and so is the language! Congratulations and all the best!

Just pointing it out in case people are unaware, but anyone involved in illicit trade with Pakistan is, as a side effect, funding terrorist groups like Taliban.

SBCL and Chez Scheme are probably the most advanced dynamic language environments around. Unfortunately, CL has started to show its age (case insensitive, different namespaces for variables and functions, weirdly named stuff, etc.) and Chez

Clojure does something very much like this using the with-redefs [0] form. If you have a function like: (defn send-mail [receiver-ids title text] ...) You can mock it out in your tests like: (with-redefs [send-mail (fn

I have never stressed over or debugged Leiningen in my 6 years of Clojure experience. Not sure what you're on about.

Same. I don't want to spend time learning build tools and configuring builds - I want to Get Shit Done. Lieningen gets out of my way and lets me do the things that really matter, and I'm not switching till I see some clear advanta

I have worked on pretty large Clojure projects, and found Leiningen to be perfectly adequate.

by divs1210 5y ago
Note to non-Clojurians: Most people just use Leiningen and don't mess with this stuff. This post does not paint a good picture of Clojure development tools, but don't get turned off by it. 99% of Clojure projects I've worked

You must have very high opinions of PHP and COBOL. The conversation was about technical merits, not popularity.

If we're playing code golf, then in Clojure it is: (def bar #(+ % 1)) or even (def bar inc) but the difference is that in Clojure, all of these are `IFn`s, and have the same calling syntax, unlike Elixir.

Yup, like I said, not as ergonomic as Clojure. In clojure, it is: user> (defn bar [x] (+ x 1)) If you want it inside a namespace named foo, then it is: user> (in-ns 'foo) foo> (defn bar [x] (+ x 1))

I have had the same experience! The distinction b/w anonymous and named functions is especially icky. I also agree that Elixir leads to more readable code, lots of people in the Clojure community tend to write dense one liners to appea

The problem here is that its inconvinient to define a function at the Elixir REPL because it demands that it be put inside a module. Clojure REPLS allow switching the namespace, and anything you define goes intoo the current namespace. So i

I'm sure I'm not the only one with that opinion. The proof is in the pudding - just have a look at C++. Linus won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. It is telling that you did not provide a more charitable interpretation despite

Here's a editor-agnostic magit-inspired git TUI I wrote some time back: https://github.com/hugit-project/hugit I used to use it inside IntelliJ console when Emacs wasn't available.
