Square brackets’ use is very consistent and rather logical in how they are used in Clojure’s syntax. When round brackets are used, the first element in the list defines how the rest of the list is interpreted, for example: (func a b c) — ru

As I understand, earlier forms of life used RNAs as building blocks (instead of proteins encoded in DNA->RNA), so protein-based life _was_ a completely different form of life. Some of the oldest replication machinery in our cells still u

I feel like people who program in JavaScript or whose projects pull megabytes of dependencies, don’t get a moral right to complain about this. You guys just sit and calm down this time, you already said what you could. Your app takes 20 sec

The way I see it, Clojure was created to address most of the philosophical problems highlighted in the article, and its ecosystem has developed under the influence of such ideas. It embraces the dynamic nature of things. Every program that

Yep, that’s the irony, that’s why I’m being tongue in cheek about Marxists’ “seize the means of production”, because people who produce capital also work very hard

No, rewriting in any language is bad by itself. What Fil-C gives you is that you don’t need to rewrite old programs. You spend zero effort, and immediately your battle-tested program is memory safe and free of any potential future vulnerabi

For example, compared to migration from 3G to 4G networks. As I understand, from the launch of 4G to complete shutdown of 3G it took around 12—14 years.
