Everytime I've singled out the REPL as why I like Clojure so much when explaining why Clojure so great to my friends they seem to mention that other languages have repls too. Like F# or JavaScript. When I counter that Clojure's RE

I did a project where we used ClojureScript both on the server and the client. The server ran on Node.js and so most libraries could be used on both the server and client. We used reagent to render our app which made it possible to use reac

Clojure's extensive support for lazy evaluation and sequences actually makes it decent for command line tools that process streams of data. At least in terms of program architecture and elegance. The biggest mismatch used to be startup

But then you switch out your issue tracker service from something like Jira to something else, and suddenly that ID or URL means squat. A git repository can easily be pushed to any git based service be it GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or something

Internet Object, from my limited read-through, seems to be order sensitive in a way that JSON is not. If you define a schema at the top with the available properties in some order then the values must follow that same order. And what happen

I really enjoy the Failjure library [1] to make threads that short-circuits on failures. This is pretty close to what monadic error handling looks like in strongly typed functional languages. [1] https://github.com/adambard&

I think what the comment you are replying to are getting at is the fact that installing pip packages from the Internet and importing them in your python app is not that different from piping code from the Internet into your python executabl

If you know a bit about GitLab and Docker, GitLab CI is pretty easy to grok. I really enjoy that you can run your CI jobs inside any old Docker container (with a shell). GitLab CI is built up from very simple concepts and functionalities, b

I suspect some places still only use passwords for server logins because they can simply use active directory for user management and then have servers use ad/ldap for credential checking. I think businesses with critical infrastructur

Now that we have the GDPR law I would almost think a clear exit experience would be necessary to truly comply with the law as well. An EU user should be able to request her user to be deleted together with her data. At this point you might

I've not used C# and .Net Core in any real capacity so thank you for the corrective comment. I think some newer languages are getting tooling right, like rust and to some extent go (though dependency handling has been a sore thumb). Ma

My anecdotal feeling is that most popular JavaScript libraries expose promise-returning functions these days. Browsers and Node has supported Promises for about four years, and async/await has been around for about two years. I have no

Yeah. My impression is that C# rules the world of enterprise and fintech software, at least here in Norway. It might be different elsewhere. It seems like a good language with very good tooling if object oriented programming (in the Java an

If GitLab can pull off the npm registry well this might be the beginning of a universal package management server built into Gitlab. A bit like the self hosted Nexus registry or Artifactory. Not sure if it wouldn't be just as well to r

The datalog like query language combined with immutability is quite nice. I'm no expert in Datomic yet, but it is pretty nice that the queries are simple Clojure data structures. I can use regular old Clojure code to build queries dyna

I quite like tools.deps, but it is maybe a bit problematic that it is bundled with the Clojure install. Before tools.deps there were no officially sanctioned dependency and project management tool. This is probably why we got both leiningen

I think so as well. When you have macros and can add syntax and features to a language at will, then the language and core library does not need to be very big. This probably helps immensely when trying to avoid breaking changes. New macros
