Outside Google, ClojureScript (with a "j") used to depend on the Closure compiler (with an "s") - partly because the library that came with the compiler provided a Java-like API which was convenient as the Clojure langua

The majority of the content and comments on HN tell about the benefits of remaining an IC and not moving into management. Why do people need to convince each other _not_ to move into management by content like this? To get a balanced view -

By who's authority should the word "who's" be spelled "whose" and not "who's"? In all seriousness, it's interesting to see how the live language is diverging from the rules. The dual ending

You probably meant 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕. Side note: to a Jew, this obsession of Christians over Hebrew and Biblical things feels rather... creepy - although I can't quite rationalise it.

The argument that US companies have a larger addressable market is valid, but it doesn’t seem particularly convincing. Israel’s domestic market is tiny, and most Israeli start-ups go global from day 1. Probably partly because of that, Israe

Basically it would be ideal to have a query builder that is easily integrated with shells and notebooks (so that it can be used outside the context of writing programs in a specific languages) and that is accepted across the community.

GraphQL specifies schema and documentation, and implementations usually come with introspection tools, which is not the case for REST. It would be more fair to compare GraphQL to something like Swagger. That said, GraphQL libraries and tool

I wonder what makes people launch new products using non-metric units in 2020. Oil trading has a tradition of using barrels, but crop areas are measured in hectares and water volumes in cubic metres in most parts of the world.

Not sure if that's relevant - but were you aware that you can pass GraphQL inputs as plain JSON in variables? In the vast majority of cases, you don't need to build mutation inputs (or anything else, really) in GraphQL syntax. Pyt

This has been discussed in the responses to the tweets, but still couldn't find a definitive answer - why Basic? I started with Basic too when I was a kid, but if I were to teach my child programming now in 2020, I would choose Python

Just in case - Luminus has options for adding re-frame and kee-frame (an add-on which adds a lot of convenience stuff to re-frame) to a new project.
