I found yesql inadaquete for use with anything other than simple queries. Writing plain SQL is definitely nicer than an ORM, however, I find that manipulating SQL as data (honeysql) is far superior to .sql files with added magic (yesql). As

You may find your comment turning less gray if you articulated the issues you see with this lib. I definitely would be interested, since I am a current user. Its always good to get a differing perspective on your tools.

I'm currently using honeysql in clojure projects at work, it's definitely my favourite option for interfacing with mysql (although would of course rather use datomic, but then what patriotic clojure fan wouldn't?). In case an

well clojure does pass by reference, but the reference is to something that cannot be changed (i.e. a persistent data structure)

If you can shadow previous bindings then that would also cause no problem for repl re-usage, unless the shadowing syntax is different to the binding syntax. Either way, unrelated to the point in the article about the advantage of immutable

As a person who has used the standard java debugger in intellij for clojure, could you expand on what features are missing? I find I don't get much use out of it anyway, due to immutable values and (mostly) pure functions I find I don&

I think there may be some confusion here, immutability is about the stability of values (e.g. I have a string, list, map etc and I want to pass it to others, view its value, make changes without affecting the original value). Immutability i

Very nice. Perhaps using (partition 2 1 _) could be a clearer way to view the prev line instead of the reduce on a nil?

There certainly is a minimum, especially when bringing in another language entirely. The point of the google closure compiler, with advanced opts, tree shaking etc etc is that the size will grow slowly as you add hundreds of your own source

Like the 966k of JS on your homepage? ;) There are several things to consider with download time: - is this a website? why on earth do you need react or anything for a website? - is this a single page web application? then to develop with a

60k is hardly an issue, most hi-res images would be larger than that. Plus due to the google closure compiler code can be minified with an aggression unknown to the typical js minifiers. Add to that tree-shaking (removing unused code) and t

Immutability in js is awful hence the complexity, a library like immutable.js can make it better, but the language is just not built for it. Because imperative code and persistent, immutable data do not play nicely together.

If the author wishes to continue with js/react/redux then he needs to pick up a library like immutable.js to cut down that immutabiilty helper crap. However, there is a better way ... lein new figwheel my-app, clojurescript+refram

Perhaps native speakers enjoy this kind of talk a lot. I can't speak for others but I certainly did. I don't feel that listening attentively for a couple of hours is that much of an imposition.

by joncampbelldev 9y ago
Just to say, from my perspective I love your talks, zero distractions, just a long cogent train of thought to follow. Please don't feel the need to make too many changes.

This kind of thing is useful for web applications, specifically single page apps i.e. a situation where the user needs to have javascript to use the product / whatever in question. Easily scoped and programmable css is very useful for

If the standard data structures in your language are mutable this will not save you. Luckily many languages like Java have nice third party persistent collection libraries

How easily extendable is that without the original source (e.g. when using as a library)? From what I can see it looks like if you can't edit the case statements you can't extend the functionality (e.g. expression problem stuff).

Very good, although I thought the dynamic typing one was a bit snarky. I'll happily give up dynamically typed languages like clojure when structural typing can give me the same flexibility. I say this as a person learning idris and Has

they are excellent observations, but it seems pretty clear the team would be unable to implement them properly this late in the game, or worse unable to understand why they are a good idea.

buildkite can be done entirely on your own infrastructure (for the purposes of source control and builds), its an interesting setup: - the ui is SaaS, but it doesn't care about your repos or build agents - the build agent runs on your
