In a world where there's only a few primitive types no one can share uuids or dates across the wire without both sides knowing which fields are dates or uuids ahead of time JSON is too simple we need more primitive types and an extensi

Unless you're using Clojure engines with Datomic pull syntax, SQL engines (most? all?) can't pull out nested results without serialization nastiness

Babashka ( https://github.com/borkdude/babashka ) is the new gateway drug for Clojure Essentially you can use it in most places you'd currently use bash scripts the install footprint is small and the startup time is

In Clojure it's common to develop your application by building it inside a running system Every REPL form sent recompiles the running program, I don't want that fast loop to be force lagged by the program checking types I'm m

This talk kind of alludes to the data driven stuff at the end: https://youtu.be/vK1DazRK_a0?t=774 It's a shame the code examples are just the fp and oop solutions not how it could look in a data oriented way

In the Clojure world we use clj-kondo, maps, and spec to solve these problems We get editor time feedback of mistakes with optional type hints + light inferance via clj-kondo and a data modelling system that we can export out as database sc

Ugh I hope this isn't going to be another php->hack project Static analysis is great and required for modern development in dynamic languages and CPU/memory intensive to do well These big companies should write their own LSP se

If you can develop your whole application in your REPL without restarting your application that's a tell that you have a good REPL In languages like Clojure and many other older languages this is the default method of development, it&#

Does this mean we'll be able to use VisualVM or Chrome's inbuilt debugger with PHP? The same way other GraalVM languages can? Also I assume the polyglot and native image features of GraalVM will work?

Most relational databases aren't relational enough For example in Drupal you can have a node table which is a foreign key relationship to many other custom tables In SQL I can't say get me all the nodes that have a start date with

I really wish they'd merge their Clojure pull request The performance of that REPL really bombed maybe a year ago now I've had to stop using it or recommending it

Yeah spec is quite a general thing, there are libraries which convert specs into database schemas, JSON schema, swagger etc If communicating constraints to another environment is required they should help

ClojureScript has some oddities compared to Clojure but in my experience acts much nicer than plain JS Clj-kondo is good to detect unintended passing, in terms of correctness there are sometimes minor fixes but not at the expense of backwar

I think this just reminds me if I went back to ReasonML from ClojureScript I wouldn't be having a good time

I'm not sure why the author isn't putting his preferred implementation into a clamp function then forgetting about it?

I think what most people don't see coming is that Wilker Lúcio was hired by Roam Research he is the author of Pathom and gave this talk recently: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3i3DTUnAI It's about connecting

I agree with the criticism of SQL here but to make yet another SQL but not SQL is not the way forward imo I hope the writer reads http://www.learndatalogtoday.org/ In Clojure there are multiple databases that you can query

I'm trying to learn datalog casually, there's lots of queries that I still don't know how they translate I.e. group by, window aggregates, order by, limit I'd be interested in seeing the equivalent datalog that Crux make

It's important to recognise what we can't do with that error in: <?php $user = [ 'age' => 25, 'name' => 'Brent', 'email' => 'brent@stitcher.

The fact it errors if you over supply the function arguments is a bit worrying Adding a key to an array shouldn't be a breaking change, if you over supply a function by position today PHP doesn't error

ClojureScript with shadow-cljs has really good error messages Clojure's errors require getting used to because they can be verbose but the patterns emerge after some use, that said most beginner errors can be caught before runtime with

If what you're comfortable with is Spring or Drupal or Rails and those work for your use case then more power to you At the same time it's true there are products like roam research that are fundamentally harder to achieve in a co

Clojure has a java type system which can be partially enforced statically with clj-kondo Clojure spec is great at system boundaries but it's hard to describe it is a type system, it's a predicate system it can define very arbitrar

I knew his article would get misconstrued this way to clarify he almost certainly will be using a REPL in Clojure (even running tests happens through a REPL in Clojure) but I think what he's trying to convey there is that he's not

Living Clojure is my favourite learning book on Clojure Also I recommend making friends with someone who can show you their structural editing and REPL setup, preferably more than one friend because it's like trying on clothes
