You can get a pretty long way but there are still things that need to be improved over time. For example Clojure still 7 years after the java 8 release doesn't have great integration with java 8 functional interfaces, which is a pretty

I would agree here that the combination of being "closed to collaboration", the slow pace of development lately, and really infrequent communication from the sole owner/leader/BDFL does send a weird vibe and raises some

That's great to hear! I get the same feeling towards the Clojure community as well, some of the friendliest, smartest and most helpful people hanging out at the Clojure watering holes (in comparison to other languages I've worked

Reddit started out as a text-based discussion forum for use on desktop and has slowly morphed into endless-scroll-of-images/gifs/streams on mobile.

What does the Apache Foundation do/provide/give these projects if no funding is involved? Is it just like a governance thing like "if this project falls into an abandoned state, we'll oversee the process of transferring

Python's cool, but "right tool for the job" and all that. Just dive in with the Java or Scala api's and you'll have a better time :-).

Totally agreed! Flink is way underrated.

No, I think they're looking for people who are intrinsically motivated by the drive to do a professional job applying their craft, rather than to use a project as an opportunity to experiment with technology that they want to learn for

Thanks Adam, I love the podcast!

I disagree that UX can't play a role in this aspect of Reddit. Old reddit was a lot more insightful and had higher quality content and discussions, because the UX was geared towards that. Now the UX is heavily geared towards mindless s

>Using it only on "bad guys" is a recipe for the government punishing people that disagrees with them. Indeed that's exactly how it is being used if it's true that they throw the book at public figures for making poli

I appreciate the ability to select and move already drawn components, I believe this was missing in the original version which kept me from using it. Thanks team!

Well it's easy enough to think of a situation where you would use a date as a primary key, for example time series data.

There are actually a fair number if you go looking, in my opinion Lemmy seems to be the best alternative these days and seems to get at least a bit of traffic.

This was some comfort years ago, but these days, the vast majority of reddit users are mobile and new-reddit, whose UX's favor more meme/video mindless scrolling and throwaway comments. So while the old reddit experience is there

There is a subreddit about this: r/RedditAlternatives. Trouble is, most of them end up being dominated by the alt-right/hate mobs. Interesting that you want something that is specifically not just a reddit knock off. I actually th

I don't literally read aloud the document but I do end up going through and paraphrasing what each section says. I don't think people are generally embarrassed they haven't read up in advance, they'll show up like "

What does one do when they live by this philosophy of documenting everything and making sure knowledge is captured, but your team mates just refuse to volley the ball back? I find myself documenting how the software works, writing up propos

Would have to disagree here. Just raising the bar higher for publishing at all doesn't increase quality of libraries available. Consider how open source in general really became much more the norm after Github made it trivially easy to

As in Scala: // define a type alias type UserId = Long // can be used as a regular type val userId: UserId = 123L val userIds: List[UserId] = List(1L, 2L, 3L)

What would you use instead of Cassandra for multi-DC replication?

IMO it would also be really nice to have non-string keys in objects, like: { [1, 2]: "a", [3, 4]: "b" }

I don't know Clojure or PHP completely fluently, so sorry if it's a stupid question, but why did you want to create a new language inspired by Clojure rather than a dialect of Clojure itself for PHP (in the same way as there is Cl

Yep this is a huge cultural problem with the Scala community. On paper and in marketing material, Scala is flexible enough to empower you to slip into mutable/OOP style or more FP style. But in practice the pure FP enthusiasts are the

Couldn't they expand outside of the anglosphere? Basically 99% of reddit is English, unlike Facebook etc.

I follow Clojure quite closely and am a huge booster of it, I even donate to a few projects, but I do think that the attitude of the community seems a bit too dismissive of questions about its adoption in the face of what seem to be pretty

I have worked in multiple Scala shops and contributed at the highest levels to the Scala ecosystem and my experiences confirm that this rotten attitude is very real and increasingly the norm, as everyone but the fanatical FP-ers have long-s

I'm continually impressed by the stuff that comes out of the Clojure community. They really seem to punch above their weight in terms of useful output, novel ideas, interesting projects/products. Much more so than say Scala or Kot
