True, but signatures help statically verify that side-effects can't happen at a call site, giving you reassurances that it's non-side-effecting. Same with referential transparency, I believe.

This solves (or at least attempts to solve) one of the biggest problems I had about Om. We bent over backwards to get global visibility for tooling, pretty much sacrificing encapsulation entirely, because it was so important for building th

Wow, that was a pretty surprising video. The audience's reaction especially surprised me. While maybe not quickly enough, times have certainly changed.

A lot of these lyft/uber/sidecar-are-falling-apart stories remind me of http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html . This may or may not be the case, but certainly the thought pops into my mind.

They're of course not a desktop option at all, but there's also some very interesting work happening with unikernels, which are really only recently a viable option now that Xen can present a unified hardware layer, instead of the

There are still some huge hurdles to overcome for working on large projects & medium-size teams with designers. Nothing insurmountable, but a lot of polish that still needs to be put into (re-)usable infrastructure, tooling, and polish.

They do, and ClojureScript (they're responsible for the largest open-source React/Om ClojureScript app, https://github.com/circleci/frontend ). Because of the tech they built to auto-configure projects (and be

I believe Haskell compilers are pretty amenable to stuff like this - watching "Data Parallel Haskell", it was interesting to see how they actually map out contiguous memory, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWS

Why do you need mutability for that? Doesn't LT's approach give the same flexibility without the need for mutation everywhere? Or is it mainly a concern of performance?

Quasar is an amazing piece of engineering work, and I really don't understand how pron has been able to do so much in such a relatively short period of time (including insights into the ideas and implementation).

I've been diving into Haskell more lately from the Clojure/Script world, and it has a lot to admire. There's so much about it that's daunting though. Is there an analogy for what this pulls off that the poor common-fp-pr

I was thinking the same way - taken to the extreme, they both seem to converge.

What an amazing team, and an amazing outcome. Who would have thought there was such potential in viewing gaming - and of those, how many teams would actually be able to pull it off?

I've spent a day looking at Irmin, trying to figure out the JSON CRUD interface, but there's just no documentation, and the irc channel is pretty much dead. The code looks good, but it's my first introduction to OCaml, coming

I would love to see a comparison of the ideas behind Datomic and Irmin - they're actually seem quite different, but a blog comparing the two could really help clear things up and frame the tasks they're both suited for.

One of the big issues we've been struggling with is getting large ClojureScript data structures with tons and tons of structural sharing (think application state history) 1.) small enough to transmit to the server 2.) for efficient sto

I don't think it'd be a huge issue in any case, probably just a case of providing a handler for name conversions. Not sure if it's worth the extra code lying around, but anything that potentially makes cljs a better actor in

This is really the way to go. Customize the UI to the platform make the app as polished as possible, but don't give up cross-platform business logic/unified deployment.

We'll get there (we're not so far as it is), but it's just not high enough on anyone's priority list yet.

I'm surprised at how rough the audience was for the presentation. I wonder where those emotions came from.

Web workers are atrocious though. They're very strangely hobbled by either requiring a serialize->deserialize round-trip when passing data back and forth, or you can sidestep it by 'transferring' the object across contexts

I didn't think that was your suggestion, but I agree with Turing_Machine re: compiling to JS. It's only a slightly more insane API to the VM than x86 is to the internal instruction set on a CPU, anyway. Weird machines all the way
