Tl;dr no it’s not, calorie restriction wins in terms of fat loss. Very interesting article!

Fwiw, clojure is an acquired taste. It took me months to rewire my brain and get comfortable with it. Enjoy your time with TS and remember clojure if it ever doesn’t satisfy you anymore

Lisps make it much, much easier though. My dayjob is python, but my heart yearns for clojure

Writing C is a lot harder than writing Lua, especially coming from Python

This would have really benefited from looking over something like clojure’s hiccup: https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup

They don’t serve one. Clojure uses only white space for distinguishing items in lists and hashmaps and after a short period of “this is weird” you embrace it and wonder why you ever needed commas at all
307.

Yeah I think that’s your expectations. Clojure doesn’t treat the JVM as an implementation detail, but as a very important part that you’ll want to use and interact with directly. It wouldn’t make any sense for clojure to not show you the JV

Tell that to Snowden and the other whistle blowers

I believe that’s what the article said too. Where do you see him conflating this?

That was glorious! Do kubernetes next!

And yet I have definitely copy&pasted cookie headers from the database or log files into the browser - something I’ve never done it could imagine doing with binary protocols

Hunters specifically feed deer throughout the winter and then shoot them later on (my grandfather was very much into hunting). The whole “overpopulation” thing is a bad faith argument and doesn’t make logical sense either; there’s no way a

But the same ruby version from ten years ago probably won’t just work anymore and that’s the problem

The creator, Rich Hickey, explains that Clojure has been explicitly designed for 'situated programs' in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V1FtfBDsLU

That’s Clojure, not the JVM. In certain configurations it can unfortunately take that long. It’s getting better though.

That drove me nuts, but you can turn it off with a defaults setting. I don’t have it at hand but it’s easily googleable

Frankly, this article has the opposite effect of convincing me. The author starts with a perfectly reasonable data model and munges it for some questionable space savings (that only apply in the dumbest of databases that don't do any s

Practically, mindshare, because that translates to longterm support and ability to get help if you need it. I know lots of people that use babashka but not a single one that uses closh. Of course, I see the irony in making the popularity ar

You’re aware that json stands for “JavaScript object notation”, right? ;)

Just go to any hacker news discussion about types and you’ll find plenty of these sorts of claims
322.
by phyrex 6y ago
Wat? You have a source for any of those claims? That seems like a lot of FUD to me.

I've been programming Clojure for a while and I've dabbled in CL, and while the CL debugger is certainly nicer, I don't see a major difference in how you develop interactively. Could you explain where do you see Clojure falli

Fwiw, first-class parallelism was one of the premises of Clojure, but in practice those features aren’t used very heavily. I’m not sure why that is.

My favourite explanation is that a framework calls your code, whereas for a library, your code calls the library functions. Does that make sense?

That is not the conclusion at all. Literally the conclusion: > It’s nice to have another scripting tool in my toolbox: Babashka. Time will tell if I start using Clojure instead of Python as my preferred scripting language, thanks to Baba

I’ve used this in production: def thread_first(current_value, args): for funcargs in args: if isinstance(funcargs, list): func, *restargs = funcargs else: func = funcargs restargs

You're discovering REPL-based development ;)

Care to explain why? There's riots in the streets because of police brutality, browser history can now be requested by law enforcement without a warrant, .. i mean OP has a point?

Speak for yourself, I used vim for a decade and have since switched full-time to spacemacs in mixed mode! :)
