sounds like a job for clojure, lazy seqs and java's threading and network libraries make this sort of thing not too terrible

I very much believe in beautiful and clear monospace. This can translate into benefits for the time it takes your eyes and brain to interpret what you see. Time is money.

This article is clearly a troll, specifically the issue of monospace. Also, some monospace fonts are better than others. I was using consolas for a while, and have recently switched to ubuntu mono for the sake of beauty and clarity. I wo

the thing is, to implement something like linq in C# or any language requires compiler changes, with clojure or any lisp, this is library-level. You can't make korma or linq in something like java, it's too conservative. Macros!

It's too bad we only saw his face and not his interaction with the slides, watching him explain the circuit and math examples live was like watching an olympic gymnast.

jetty uses non-blocking i/o internally as well, just by the time it hits the servlet layer it's thread/request.

I think the point is that less ceremony makes it feel like less progress is being made, but actually it's equivalent. Information density is much higher compared to java, but the programmer is still rate-limited himself, so his brain will w

Reminds me of this: http://blog.dhananjaynene.com/2011/08/cperformance-compariso... note the retraction after he tried to keep everything updated for a while.

thank you for informing the numbers, I get much better results with straight ring and jetty through clojure, so it's annoying to see 'clojure is exactly this slow relative to the others'

It's hard to know what you're actually testing without profiling. My guess is it's only the overhead of netty and lamina at play here, and not clojure itself. There are profiling facilities to know for sure, and the author should try to c

is the ipad port also in C#? How do you make something so native-looking?
