I built mine too, for similar reasons: it felt easier to write from scratch, so that my site looked the way I wanted it, than customize some of the existing solutions (Jekyll, Hugo, etc). Sure it’s not customizable at all: it can only gener

Interesting approach with the polynomials! I wonder whether the performance of that one can be improved – while the coefficients aren’t integer, they become integer when multiplied by 3. So I wonder whether evaluating a whole-coefficient po

Clojure alleviates this to a great extent by automatically namespace-qualifying symbols within quasiquoted forms, which prevents clashes between let-bound symbols (which are never qualified) and ones from the global scope. It’s still possib

Can you clarify what number you mean by “a lot” and/or cite some research to corroborate this claim? You quote one article [0], which has been received by the Clojure community with almost unanimous disagreement, as the author himself

I’ll chime in with mine: Skyscraper (Clojure) [0] builds on Enlive/Reaver (which in turn build on JSoup), but tries to address cross-cutting concerns like caching, fetching HTML (preferably in parallel), throttling, retries, navigation

> 99.5% of programming Pulling numbers out of thin air like this to support an argument is counterproductive. This should read “Most of programming”, unless there’s research that can corroborate the number.
