This paragraph caught my attention This [variable-length coding] is a disadvantage for x86, yet it doesn’t really matter for high performance CPUs ... Why are they leaving out difficilty of building a compiler backend when the ISA ha

CSS-in-JS solutions like Emotion provide something close to that! But they come with some drawbacks (e.g. needs careful setup for server-side generation, spends a few CPU cycles translating to CSS, breaks memoization unless one uses deep ob

I've understood the point of Tailwind to be two things: 1. Allow styling to co-exist with your DOM layout rather than separate files 2. Provide a ready-to-use style system built atop utility classes Emphasis on "utility classes&qu

First, great tool! The README makes me want to try it immediately. I love how the Kubernetes client for Go is always the culprit for adding dozens of megabytes to binary sizes. Thankfully, its impact on binary size is decreasing as the code

I use Clojure professionally, but it's readable to me. I would personally encode the color merging rules differently since it looks too obscured as-is. But I think what doesnt help is the lack of types (or schemas) and the unhelpful fu

Thanks for the answer. I learned that the backend is implemented in Clojure, so presumably de-serializing JSON means client-side queries trivially become Clojure data usable for databases like Datomic, Datascript, etc. I noticed Postgres is

Datalog is a subset of Prolog, both of which predate SQL. By your logic, we should be asking what was the point of SQL.

by koito17 2y ago
The datalog syntax has me curious. It looks like a JavaScript "port" of Datomic's Datalog syntax. Have you considered using other forms of Datalog that are seemingly more compatible with JavaScript? See https://en.

I will agree that some TS libraries have insanely complicated types, and compared to other programming languages I have used (e.g. Clojure), it takes a longer time to understand library code. But the example provided here doesn't seem

cond is neither an operator nor a statement, it's an expression. This is a demonstration of a conditional expression handling multiple conditions, which GP wanted. More importantly, pattern matching is not necessary here.

by koito17 2y ago
Not necessarily. In many Lisps you can bind the result of a condition like so. (let [thing (cond pred-1 form-1 ... pred-n form-n)] (do something with thing)) This makes laying out R

Sure, Nix is extremely flexible in input definition, but it's different in the sense that Homebrew exposes a single command to e.g. install a cask from a user-inputted GitHub repository. So all an attacker needs to do is typo squat or

Each equality function, at least in Common Lisp, has a distinct goal. Numbers use = if you don't care about type. For instance, the real number 0 and the complex number 0 + 0i would be treated equal by this function. Do you care about

Typed Clojure is interesting. However, until two months ago, it was practically unusable for most Clojure projects because of the lack of type inference in higher-order functions. This has changed, but there's another huge problem: nob

Yup. I learned Clojure just so I can use a Lisp and get paid for it, but there is some weird cult against all forms of typing. Even coming from a Common Lisp background, this was strange to me. In Common Lisp, there are implementations (lik
