Clojure is a language without a platform so all the Clojure dialects have the different semantics of the underlying platform, be it the JVM or JavaScript. For example ClojureScript has all the “wat” semantics from JavaScript primitive type

Will Chrichton at Stanford Uni argued for targeting Rust rather than LLVM to get the benefits of a safer intermediate language and a standard library for free. It is interesting to consider the trade-offs even if you go with C or LLVM: htt

Payments are regulated by financial regulation in many countries, no matter the fine print. For EU countries this would probably be governed by the PSD2 payment services directive and the GDPR data protection. Specifically, payment transact

I hear this a lot but my experience tells me otherwise. For example, I worked on a Clojure project that would leverage this supposed “10x” power of lisp. Despite hiring the even key Clojure contributors, this hypothesis was falsified. The p

I initially understood the prose in Section 3 like you interpret it (separator not terminator). That was a mistake. The RFC's BNF grammar is quite clearly stating that path segments may be empty, so it may end in "/". Th

When in doubt, check the spec. In this case it is in RFC 2396 "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax" [1]. In Section 3 you find this. The forward stroke ("slash") is a separator: URI that are hierarc

It’s been quite a number of years ago, so I don’t know the current state, but back then we used IKVM to run some finance Java libs in .NET applications. Worked like a charm. Basically, it is a JVM implemented in .NET so you can easily inter

You are not screwing over anybody. It is a two-sided deal that both parties find good. The interest represents the time value of money, which may be different to each side. Maybe the other side thinks that the 7% inflation is just a short s

Not OP, but I would venture that REPL-driven development encourages a style that is essentially trial and error programming. This may be good for small scale, short lived scripts and projects but it does not scale. My experience from a some

In such projects there is often a promised release date and a contract stipulating e.g. a total test pass rate of at least, say, 95% or something like that. Now if you use a fuzzer to generate a lot of test cases that fail (if it only saves

I always enjoyed using it in reverse: when you build a .NET app it is very easy to add a CLI by exposing .NET code as cmdlets. This gives you documentation, completions and arg parsing for free while you stay in your application language. T

Yes. The key is designing to the tool’s strength. Build a row oriented database model in the application language that matches the DB schema. This is trivial for the ORM (like Dapper or ActiveRecord) and you save boiler plate. For simple ap

In my experience discussing this topic is difficult without defining “unit” in unit testing. Similarly, “integration” testing is also something that means different things to different people. So let’s instead talk about other dimensions: A

I would also add that it is a powerful tool in your development toolbox even if you don't use it in you primary applications. For example, it is very useful for e.g. generating test cases to hit every state transition in a complex busi
