I'm a pretty big Apple fan. But I think this is the end. There's no way you can bob and weave around the fact this makes your property there's. You're insane or Gruber if you think that's okay.

It's not a readable, semantic language. You can dance around it with all kinds of gish-gallop. If a friend recommends you try a beer, and you can't read the label, I guess that makes the beer more attractive? okay.

Easy one. My office literally has one above me called Pipeline Studios. It's not even the only one in my mid-sized city. Comparison is easily reachable. You just don't like it because it contradicts your bubble.

How many "startups" grow to a comfortable level, run in a "mom and pop" reality, and just exist inside of a community for more than 5 minutes? My comment was towards the tech community's propendancy to find value in

Pedantic much?

Amazing how something lasts forever when you don't fall over yourself trying to exit the company and make it public. Weird.

It's not shaming to say a language is ugly. Languages - like art - are open to subjectivity. You're arguing for objectivity towards Lisp/ClojureScript - so yes, you are acting in an elitist way. Should I encourage children to

Let's completely forget for a second that the article wasn't basically prescribing ClojureScript as a omnisolution that we're all dumb for not converting to - it was my opposition that the point is ignorant of 99.5% of the re

Code should be for everyone - not just a few ring-kissers who feel they have past a certain integrity threshold - or maybe better said, you think Lisp is some sort of Master Sword that you pulled out of the rock - so therefore, it must be b

It's more like "I want the world to understand code, and I don't think we get here with bougie languages that divide learning instead of emboldening it." Language should be easy, it shouldn't be a ring-kissing circl

If it's so easy, why are none of the early code learning platforms employing Lisp or Clojure? An honest answer is that it's too hard to read for children who are learning. It's not easy, saying it is doesn't make it so.

I teach children to code, and you'll notice that there are ZERO early coding learning platforms that take a Lisp/Clojure approach. Do you think that is a coincidence or because it's an ugly language that people can't ea

I'll take the downvotes, and no disrespect to the project itself - but only to the falling-over-self comments about ClojureScript. If you care about semantics at all, or even want your code readable by someone who is in their early day

I wonder if geography or population density matters in these conversations. It costs 6.5x more to bring a cell tower to your neighborhood than it does in the US - but you will continue to compare Uganda or other countries that are postage s

Armchair opinions will be armchair opinions.

Also in front of the scenes: the largest country with the smallest population. In the world. Giving a Canadian cell access costs 6.5x more than it does to provide ab American the same service. Why would the prices be even close?

Sure, but in order for this first world perspective to hold, you have to pretend that properly developed WordPress themes don’t exist.

That's a pretty ignorant comment. CRTC has done a lot to protect content in Canada. A lot of which happens behind the scenes.

Agree. The comparison only works if you don't dig, or not ask questions.

So this YT video of 3:47 is going to prove that Ruby is faster and better than Unity? This is like comparing BASIC and C, but making sure BASIC is on a quad-core, and C on a 386 to make the point work.

Odd choice for a name, since Nix is a registered trademark of another tech company.

Wait, you're suggesting Ruby is better than Unity? This has to be a joke.

Agree. I don't know if the Ruby interpreter is what I'd look to for performance in a game.

If you've used Valet, you know truly that Brew is the worst.

Because it's verifiably true, all you have to do is know it in your heart.

No. This is called sarcasm.
