This is a neat tutorial. I use github pages with their built in Jekyll stuff which I'm semi happy with but I found Jekyll a big learning curve compared to Blogger which I was using before. Curious why people want to serve static sites

You can also run multiple docker-machine instances which can run on say VirtualBox. This is a how we have developers learn about and test Docker Swarm on a single machine. I've really run out of use cases for Vagrant at this point.

Nice talk. I agree with you that the repl in Clojure and Common Lisp etc is much more of a first class citizen in the development environment. What people often don't realize is how powerful the repl and worksheet can be in scala devel

I work in Scala and it has live code update, interactive worksheets and a repl. As for type systems increasing complexity I think that depends on the application. As a beginner to Clojure I would pass unstructured data around all over the p

I don't think there is a right and wrong way to customize emacs, whatever works is good. What I do is have a .emacs and my custom elisp files in a Dropbox folder. Then I have a simple ~/.emacs file that loads the Dropbox one. If I

Scala paired with Akka is definitely good for that, I don't know how it compares performance wise with Elixir, would be interested to know. We're building a game server backend with lots of messaging in Akka.

There are other reasons than money one might live in Canada. It's a country with different values than those of the US. Welcoming to immigrants, relatively safer in terms of violent crime and universal healthcare are high on the list.

I learned scheme and emacs lisp before starting to use Common Lisp and then Clojure. There are differences between all of them but there's a big enough overlap you won't be wasting your time if you end up switching between them. C

I gave up on Clojure despite spending a lot of hobby time on it and moved to Scala because it's simply a much easier language to sell to other engineers and management. For me the C/C++ was a minor issue since if you're going
