   Whatever happened to learning something to broaden your view? I doubt I'll get a job in Clojure anytime soon - but learning it has been the biggest eye opener to me as a programmer in the last 5 years. > The answer to all these ques

    Managed to close it twice, but it took a while. I don't understand how a single application can render a whole (multicore) system unresponsive. Isn't the OS supposed to take control from a long-running task once in a while? I&#x27

    There are type inspection tools for JS - Webstorm has one and then there is the open source tern.js and facebook's flow. I imagine in erlang it's a bit easier to infer types in erlang because it's immutable and because functi
