What about libhydrogen's NORX construction with the Gimli permutation for AEAD and hashing? Seems like it checks a lot of boxes (from a layman's perspective.)

std::map and red-black trees are associative & sorted (by key); HAMTs are just plain associative. HAMTs have generally excellent performance: the typical implementations use 32-way branching, which allows for the top levels to be likely

The self-rewriting interpreter model is so so interesting, and has already proven itself in things like peak performance, and cross-language. However, it can have the disadvantage of blowing up warmup time. Are there Truffle language impl

Future predictions are hard, but it's especially hard to make them with such a large company. I agree with you about some of the missteps, but there are a lot of fundamental improvements happening too. The secure enclave technology (

I'd love that too, but there is a startup time overhead with the Clojure runtime. Given the moves Google's made in recent wrt moving away from JIT for startup time reasons, this would be challenging.

Agreed that this is a big step, but what is being included in core is very distinct from Prismatic Schema. For example the way keysets vs values are handled is intentionally different from schema. The rationale is a good read.

Many people blindly point to the docs to say "don't use groupBy, prefer reduce because it's faster..." Are there better examples that illustrate the fundamental differences between the two operations? Surely there is st

Exciting, inevitable news. Healthcare needs a shakeup. How does drchrono interoperate with medical systems? Other than SureScripts. Does it support regional labs or just LabCorp/Quest? Disclaimer: I am writing a modern interface engine.

As a health care IT pro, I think you're right about the conclusions, but your reasoning is off. Google is not pulling the plug because of a technical problem with the product (security/HIPAA), but a social issue. You can have the most beaut

With OLED/IPS etc. taking over in the next few years, will this really support >8bpp or HDR? Interesting move, Google

Agreed. The author supports going outside of Clojure for larger scale processing, e.g. Hadoop. This is sensible, but it's some leap to call concurrency a fad. It's likely that Clojure will target some other runtime (in the future). Concu

Other than being a great tool for its problem domain, I think part of the reason CouchDB is successful is because Chris Anderson (jchris) is hilarious. Watch his video ( http://vimeo.com/5288034 )... When asked about writing CouchDB in C++

When did HN become twitter? Using Clojure to sanify and convert doctor's notes from a giant Oracle instance on a EMR to a simple CouchDB instance.
