Exactly. There's no silver bullet, only trade offs. In this case you're only shifting the complexity from "maintaining" to "orchestrating". "Maintaining" means you build (in a semi-automated way) once

Awesome! That's exactly why I pointed out Lisp. Those who enjoy the tight feedback loop of Jupyter might also enjoy a language where this process is the natural way of doing things.

Thanks for the link, I'd never heard of REBL. Very cool!

Yes, Python does have a repl, but I've never seen anyone doing real "repl driven development" in Python in my 15+ years of using it (btw, just testing some code in the repl isn't anywhere near repl driven development). S

You just discovered repl driven development that lisp users have been advocating for years. Check it out in Clojure: https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/what-makes-a-good-repl....

Same here. It's been on my "someday I´ll use it on a real project" list for 10-ish years. From time to time I boot an image, play around, cry a little, get back to Python.

I spent a few weeks in north New Jersey last year and, as someone who cycles to work every day in my hometown, I was appalled to find absolutely no infrastructure for bicycles. None at all. I felt trapped; it’s like if you don’t own a car y

Yup! As if Clojure users cared about this level of pedantism.

It is like complaining that Prolog got logic programming right but that comparing to “modern languages” (whatever your own definition of that is: Rust? JS? Haskell? Swift?) it lacks a lot. Prolog, as Erlang, was never designed to be a gene

A similar (but more useful) position sizing strategy is the Optimal F formula, described by Ralph Vince in his book Portfolio Management Formulas. But its real value is in showing you your 'cliff of death' curve: how close you can

It has to go both ways, though. At my last job, when I first talked to the CTO (my boss) about leaving, he asked me to think about it and talk again the next day. The next day he postponed the meeting. Then, at the day of the meeting, he wa

Your taste has nothing to do with effectiveness. There's plenty of evidence that loc are one of the most reliable predictors of # of bugs in a codebase.

You got me interested but the link barely worked on my iPhone...

Well you’re either confused or being purposefully ingenuous. The original poster, samuell, said nothing about languages which compile to native executables, he said he’s looking for “languages with light-weight threads automatically mapped

And that's why he's being downvoted... Generically claiming that a language is "slow af" will mean different things to different people. Hence the interpretations. Hence the downvotes.

Awesome! I've used reagent/re-frame extensively for years, but I've never tried Rum because I couldn't find an obvious way to use it with re-frame. What do you think of citrus so far? Is it production ready? Stable? Anyt

Yes! When first saw Reason I was horrified by the syntax (I really like the ML family syntax). But then I though about it, and here's my take now: if syntax is all we're giving up in order for OCaml to reach a far wider audience,

It baffles me how people give Elixir the credit for this. Everything you mentioned here have nothing to do with Elixir, but with how Erlang and its preemptive scheduler were optimized for soft real-time apps.

I agree with you that that wasn't the best comparison. As I wrote somewhere downthread, in a perfect world, I'd be comparing Clojure/GraphQL with Python/Graphene. But it is what it is and, even though the project I could

If you believe that graph, then Java, Ruby and Shell are also on the way out. Nonsense. https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-java.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-ruby.html https:/&#x2F
