Machine learning requires a large high-quality dataset, which a lot of companies simply don't have. Building one takes a lot of time and money. The gains don't outweigh the costs in many cases. Another problem is that machine lea

Clojure has a good ecosystem and you can fall back to Java's ecosystem if needed. It has excellent support for json, and acceptable async support (I use manifold + aleph, but there are other options). It runs on the JVM which has worl

CloudFormation has an escape hatch via custom resources, which can call Lambda functions do create/update/destroy resources. It's ugly, but it works.

Rewrites are only done if there is plenty of money going around. During a recession many projects go in maintenance mode, so Java/C#/Javascript is a safer bet. Rust is more fun though....

I think a factor in this is that NoSql databases have nice API's that programmers can use to setup tables, do simple queries etc, which makes it much easier to get started. For RDBMS's you have to muck around with connections and

Food science is iffy, and different people may react differently to the same food. Personally, I think coffee is not healthy for me. I used to drink 4+ cups a day for the last years, but stopped last year. Since I stopped I feel much less

What I like most about Clojure is the interactivity: I can quickly test and iterate on ideas in my editor connected to a REPL. To me, this is the main advantage of Clojure. Clojure's focus on the REPL, immutability and simple datastru

I would want to filter out candidates who can only plug frameworks together: all frameworks have their limitations and I would want someone who can work around these.

I'd like to see a language with built in version control, so that you can call older versions of parts of the code, compare performance between branches all within a running process. I believe there is a lot of potential here.
