I don't disagree and my experience has actually been similar as I worked with customers previously. My hope is that there might be those people already out there who are far enough along to be ready for the "build me a prototype" phase. I h

I generally think it's a fairly good deal for people. While I could've priced myself significantly higher, I wanted to make this more open to just people with ideas. Also, my hope is that the work will actually be quite fun :D

Yeah, I was the Program Manager in charge of the C# and VB IDE before I left. Basically if it's visible and you're using .NET, that was my territory in some for or fashion. : )

I was actually one of the few people who built this while I was at MSFT. Me and a few others from the VS editor team sat down over a weekend and knocked most of it out. They've since hooked the debugger into it and made it a bit cleaner, bu

Perhaps there's something I'm missing? All I see at that link is a default wordpress install.

It seems like there's an opportunity here and I'll see what I can do to piece something together to help folks get started. I will say that aside from the pieces being split apart, compojure/ring/hiccup haven't really changed all that much

I wrote the majority of my startup's code in Clojure using compojure et al. and that is indeed the way you end up doing it. These pieces that you use together, however, didn't require any glue for me. Like all functional programming, you us

Clojure mostly. Hands down my favorite language to do random hacking in.

I commented with a much better version of your clojure code. I'm still not convinced that this is the best way to calculate primes though. Moreover, I could imagine coming up with a better implementation that uses a lazy seq to just calcula

fwiw, I agree and actually fought to try and get a lower priced VS out there.

1) I agree. It's probably one of the best IDE's out there and C# is undoubtedly a fantastic language. 2) In what ways is C# ahead of its peers in the industry? I think Async is a great step forward, but it's been in other languages for a wh

As a recently departed (read 5 months) ex-PM at Microsoft, I think MS's problems, at least in my division, stem from three things: a lack of vision/leadership, too inward of a focus, and the ridiculous bevy of meaningless communication. I t

Where's Clojure!? :D

How is this any different than what hacker news essentially is now?

Telling a more compelling story is definitely a big part of it and another thing to consider is doing something simlar, but not on Facebook. If you can control the surroundings and the interaction mechanism, you can create a much better exp
