When I read the quote from the Pedestal site, it echoes to me similar quotes: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” or “Any darn fool can make something complex; it takes a genius to make something simple.” or

Sorry for the late response. I will not cover ES6 tail calls very much at all except to mention the possibility for inclusion.

I talk about that too. :-)

I also really miss pattern matching and I think that JavaScript would be well-served by it or even minimally some sort of destructuring.

I prefer Underscore's implementation of `each`. It doesn't blow the stack. http://underscorejs.org/docs/underscore.html#section-13

Knowing the limitations of your runtime is important. My book is not a dogmatic application of functional programming in spite of JavaScript, but instead an exploration of the functional techniques that complement JavaScript. Tail calls m

By "classic functional patterns" you mean recursion. There are other ways to implement functions that are "classically functional" using techniques other than recursion, that do not blow the stack. I'll talk about each and their tradeoffs

A couple topics that we plan to cover, besides the 1.5 additions and changes and ClojureScript, are logic programming and data-driven development. We talked a little about the latter in the 1st edition, but it'll be front and center in the

As far as I understand the pre-release version is a regular PDF. I am unsure about the formats available when the book is complete, but I do not think that they were DRM'd in the first edition.

We realize that we're not about to get rich off of this book, so we'd prefer that the coupons disseminate far and wide. :-)

Is it enough to say that his credentials are everything that he's ever written made available for public perusal? There's a lot to chose from. If I had a JavaScript/CoffeeScript/Backbone codebase that needed some love then I probably woul

> Do you think that'd be clear to a first-year Clojure dev? It better be. One of the very first topics that a Lisp programmer must know is the implications of separate read/compile/eval phases.

So you wouldn't want to use the reader if safety is needed. Instead you would use the EDN data functions. http://clojure.github.com/clojure/#clojure.edn

Clojure's reader is designed to provide the types of tasks useful for Lisps; specifically to take a string and convert it to data structures. However, like most Lisps Clojure has some special syntax that does various tasks at read-time lik

The operative word in that quote is "had". As I mentioned, I'm trying to slim down so to speak.

It was wry I suppose, but I think I didn't explain myself very well in the interview. I tried to convey that I'm trying to move towards a more Spartan arrangement. I don't think I mentioned USB sticks, but in any case I no longer use them
