We have good interop into python libraries via libpython-clj in Clojure too, this was relatively recent for us https://nextjournal.com/kommen/gigasquids-libpython-clj-exam...

We use it to crash our servers on larger customers, by using it to cache all our user entities, pull all of them out at runtime filter them in PHP then stampede ourselves when we clear the cache

SQL definitely solves a lot of performance issues for typical users who think they can do better but throwing strings over the wire, trying to get as much as possible without crossing cardinalities and ignoring the n query problem makes SQL

If your database is mutable then you have a third party network resource, essentially you can't test it because you have no stable basis in time and no means of dealing in values All you have is a shared place, mocking is essentially p

I don't know much about CircleCI but my understanding is that they are a Clojure shop but (one of?) their founder(s) moved on to Dark Lang They're replacing their ClojureScript mishmash of libraries with a React action team becaus

Well Clojure is a language designed to be evaluated form by form if for example I wanted to evaluate an if statement in PHP's "REPL" then working out where that statement begins and ends is annoying compared to just sending a

I came here to say this, the REPL feedback loop is amazing, I think we can do more with LSP in Clojure with spec so I'm trying to build that out to attract people used to advanced type systems that would otherwise be put off The proble

I don't know, if a system exposed a EAVT database like Datomic where you don't need to normalise tables and you don't have to index manually and the n query problem isn't an issue then I think a non expert could get a lo

Mintdata looks cool, what does the imperative layer that drives the declarative layer look like? It'd be nice if this was a platform where engineers could sell the imperative layers
280.
by slifin 7y ago
There's a class of databases called EAVT databases which include time Which is a cool model if you think about the world as observations of facts over time

If I was given the choice, I can have either static analysis or types I would pick static analysis every time
282.
by slifin 7y ago
It's shocking how little effort is put into developing static analysis compared to the insufferable amount of type system work that goes on Here we're discussing destroying a data format and replacing it with a programming languag

I understand your point, CLJS is a superset so it's ideal to understand the substrate that it's based on, it's more complex than just JS from that point of view but usability wise: lein new re-frame myapp lein run or

Why doesn't CLJS count?

Keep meaning to look at this, Clojure has some libraries for this I could use: https://github.com/clojureman/special#alternative-libraries

This is probably one of the major things that Clojure gets right (ignoring EAVT databases) that no one copies You don't need a CSS preprocessor if you can manipulate your CSS using the standard data manipulators in your given language,

I wonder if graalvm can be applied to the output of proton native which allows you to use ClojureScript to compile react code into QT but still in the context of JavaScript if graalvm can get a native binary out of that it'd be cool h

It's weird to frame lispers as optimistic, possibly a bit insulting since the typical lisper is far from new to programming Lispers also have features and methods that mean they sleep peacefully at night too In a modern lisp like Cloju

I'd probably recommend a full-stack SPA, use Clojure's Fulcro with Datomic to get a peek into what's coming next in other ecosystems

by slifin 7y ago
Something they don't tell you when you start learning lisp is the sense of calm it brings It's such a elegant thing, it ruins me for doing "professional" programming

Also the spec stuff I don't think it's a surprise to Nubank that spec is being upgraded it literally says alpha in the namespace, they have some great Clojure engineers at Nubank particularly the developer of Pathom they're r

When talking about the Clojure REPL I think a lot of people forget that the language matters a lot Clojure focuses on being dynamic, to give an example if in PHP you wanted to attach an interface to a class without restarting the REPL I don
