Well, in most cases `[]` is used just like you'd use a quoted list `'()`. Clojure vectors are nice for the performance they give. Having maps with `{}` syntax is also nice if you ask me. Makes reading a little bit faster.

27.8% chose not to have a say in it then. Leaving the EU means leaving the single market, and a majority voted for that. It's not too late for the UK - if you do have a general election, and one party promises to not follow the Brexit

The Readme is worth reading even if you are not into Lisp languages - just because it is good entertainment.

You don't need to specify what type a function takes in Clojure, which is often nice. If you do though, the compiler can sometimes optimize, and make things much faster. Basically, the compiler does not have to * look up the type of th

I don't understand americans on this point... I thought us Ëürøpæans were supposed to be the socialist ones? I for one LOVE the City Toilets I find all around in Berlin. Thank you for providing this service, I'm happy to pay for i

So scheme is not a purely functional language - I take that to mean Guix will not be as well? It will be more like "Unix as emacs"? Saddens me, because NixOS does all I want - except having s-expressions...

That sounds very nice :). How come noone with even a tiny fleet sails over there and takes it over? Any billionaire could become a king that way.

Is there any way the world could become more peaceful, and we could get rid of the seemingly eternal gun-pointing happening between the USA (+ NATO), China, Russia etc? Curious to hear what possible steps can be taken to calm the worlds war

Emacs definitely would be abandoned if not for the GPL. What software developer wants to spend their time in an environment they don't control?!

While all us non-americans can gloat about what great consumer protection laws we have (and I'm very happy about them as a consumer!) it's not for no reason that all cool stuff is made by americans. They have the state of Delaware

And taking over the torch of tax evasion/financial privacy (two sides of the same coin?) is Bitcoin etc. Who needs a bank in Switzerland when you can just have a 50 character long private key?

I think for non-scandinavians, you just have to accept that this is how we do things up north. There is the principle of being public (offentlighetsprincipen). It states that, if there are no extraordinary reasons to keep government data pr

Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm a Clojure user feeling queasy about leaving s-expressions, but am very interested in the type safety. Signing up now...

I think it's common in Scandinavia, and when moving out of the peninsula for the first time I was chocked that it wasn't like that for everyone. Now I feel queasy about having that data public.

It works like that here in Sweden as well. Fun story: in my teenage years, when dating my high school sweetheart, I went to visit her grandparents house for the first time. Arriving at their house, the grandmother quickly pulls out her Taxe

Browsed the website for a while, but couldn't find out why anyone would use Pkgsrc over any other package manager. If you know I'd love to hear!

For anyone using homebrew or other package manager, and who has an afternoon free; I'd suggest checking Nix out. It's very nice to define an immutable manifest and have your system derived from it. If you love pure functions, you&
