This is a terrible advice, and is not even necessary. Even println debugging is better than this. Not only defs are abused contrary to their intended use, they are difficult to distinguish from legitimate defs, and thus some may (and will!)

Clojure also has better debugging experience. This is a bare-bones workflow of a guy who doesn't use the best tools available in Clojure.

You actually learned dancing by having someone telling you the steps? What dance exactly, and how did they explain the steps? What skill level did you achieve?

There are also things that clj has and cljs doesn't have and this is the top-class virtual machine. lots of us really appreciate JVM, and are not impressed at all by node, and especially its ecosystem.

There is no direct replacement, because there are different libraries tackling different aspects of what you may need: high performance computations, data munging, distribution, probability stuff, ML, deep learning etc. Most are on github,

You cannot learn dancing by singing, whatever preferences you have. You have to dance. That's what the article is about.

Regarding the second point, why didn't you just define your own let macro? As a Java->Clojure guy I find better readability of Clojure's let compared to CL's support of transpose an acceptable tradeoff, but the point of be

In Clojure, you do not need (and should not) restart JVM to run unit tests. You evaluate them (manually or automatically, from the prompt or a file) inside your REPL.

The clojure example is really (* 6 4) since * is already a function, not an operator as in most languages. On the other hand, you can trivially create a macro that would implement the exact es2015 syntax (or at least a very close match), bu

David, you have to put more bugs in ClojureScript - we need way more questions on StackOverflow ASAP! :)

It took me an afternoon to get used to the prefix notation (not to parentheses; those are used even in python), and after that afternoon I would refuse to program without it. Makes the code way more regular.

How easy (or even possible) is it to use proprietary libraries such as MKL or CUDA or GPU drivers with Guix/GuixSD?

[1] is actually AMD's old libraries. Judging by dev activity, it seems to be abandonware in favor of https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute which is itself not ready for prime time.

There are even better independent open-source equivalents for some of those, but that is not the point. Good luck compiling some of AMD's clMath libraries without issues. Then, you're "just" left with packaging them prop

CUDA is getting support from AMD in the form of HIP. In my opinion, the problem is different: even if AMD supported CUDA proper, that still won't lead them anywhere because the reason people use Nvidia is not so much CUDA itself (altho

Because there is competition that have never done anything bad like SF, that offers better products. Would you buy your groceries at Al Capone's, while there's a grandpa's groceries just right next door that offers better, ch

Move shift to spacebar (use spacebar for spaces also) and you're all set!

The problem with that in the USA is that you are burdened to prove that in court as a defendant, and you also have to pay your legal costs (lawyers etc.) even if you win the case . The costs are huge, so only the big guys have to afford de

IANAL, but... They owe you and it is a question if they can get it back to you, but the rightful owner has precedence in many (most?) cases. That's the setup for many kinds of scam. The scammed party buys something, but the transaction

It is if you happen to buy stolen property. You might not be held responsible for stealing, but you'll have to return the property and say good buy to the money, I think.

If the intended result is some kind of scientific presentation then kinda yes. If I am writing a classic software code, then I do not see how \alpha is better or more readable than, well - alpha.
