I know, right? Org-mode is soooo much more practical. imenu works great, sparse-trees are awesome, you can edit pretty much any part¹ in an indirect buffer and all. These days I try to consume anything that can be fit into an outline, in or

Ehmm, weird, I can't be the only one in the room. You guys didn't know about gfm and gfm-view Emacs modes?

> can't debug their way out of it Whoa, it seems you're using LLM to generate Clojure code like you'd do it with any other "static" PL. Give it a live REPL - it works wondrously.

Ah, well, "magic" probably not the best word here, to be honest. I find Clojure to be the absolute opposite of witchcraft - everything is pretty transparent, there's no magic encapsulated behind layers and layers of abstracti

Clojure is opinionated about state and identity, not about paradigm in general. It will accommodate whatever paradigms as long as you respect its model of how state gets managed. But try to smuggle some pervasive mutability and you'll

> it doesn't support OOP That is only accurate if OOP means "inheritance-based class hierarchies with mutable state" - which is one narrow definition of it. Clojure has solid OOP support, just not in the class-hierarchy-fi

You need to understand the basic principles of how Lisp REPL operates. Simple example - if you're building a web scraper in Clojure, you can connect to the browser and "poke" through elements interactively, without reloading,

HN threads is probably not the best example because the site is pretty readable already. But it's not that difficult to fetch a thread and render it in the Org-mode outline format. nhreader.el¹ does that. For reading articles I just us

I do, but nothing stopping anyone from doing the same thing with nvim or vscode. I'm pretty sure, for vscode there probably extensions - it's already built atop a browser.

What you're describing is fast scripting in a dynamic language, which is genuinely useful - I agree it beats 'edit, compile, link, run' for exploration. But a Lisp REPL isn't 'dynamic language plus introspection&#x2

I beg to differ. You clearly misinterpret what I'm talking about. Please expand on "scalable", what do you mean by that?

There are two working LLM axes. Critic strength: how much the language catches before runtime. Sensor strength: how good the empirical feedback loop is. LLMs benefit from both, but the sensor axis often is undervalued. Type safety is great,

That was in nov 2018. Two months later Tellman published his "Elements of Clojure". I don't remember the date when he retired from the community. And I don't remember him publicly saying anything about that drama, but I

Equating Clojure and Python just because they both dynamically typed is a very shallow comparison. The actual, practical experience is like a day and night. We have projects in Python, Clojure, Java, C# and Golang. Clojure is by far the lea

Wow, thank you of course, but honestly, you're giving me way too much credit. None of this stuff I mentioned requires some special skills - most of it is about finding the right package and installing it. My Emacs config is here¹ - the

A browser's sandbox exists because it routinely executes arbitrary code from untrusted remote origins. Emacs (or any other editor) with an LLM integration does not fetch and auto-execute code from random origins. Your firejail point pr
