I second this emotion - "How would you check a spec from anything other than clj/cljs" is (IMO) the critical question here. Sure you could check out my git repo in a safe VM and execute it there, but that's a WHOLE lot

Not that there's _no_ way to transport it over the wire, it just requires the full environment (a JVM on the other end - because we have java-specific stuff like spark calls). I'd put it at an order-of-magnitude more complex than

In fact we do very similar things - that is to say, of course spec cannot reverse-engineer my "this is valid sql" predicate to do it automatically and I end up having to hand-code a lot of generators anyways. The generation featu

We just did pretty much the exact same thing with a large in-house ETL application. We can do great static analysis of the dependencies of different jobs and the coverage of various tests. Most PRs are now running a tiny fraction of the t

I think helps expose the actual (bidirectional) flow of information - web sites give you stuff because you give them stuff. Usually you give them personal info about what you do on their site so that they can monetize you, in return you get

Personally, I think the Forrest Mims books are THE best place to learn about circuits from zero. I read them when I was a kid, and still refer to them regularly. I especially like the combination of metaphors & drawings he uses to exp
