Doesn't Haskell STM limit you to a certain non-distributed architecture? At least in the Clojure world, STM is not used that much (despite praise) since it's not a good fit for horizontally scalable web servers.

Ace read. Technical considerations aside I'd love to read about the domain-specific advantages that choosing Haskell resulted in, particularly when Capital Match is playing in a quite crowded sector (p2p lending / invoice financin

In addition to the sibling comments: worth noting that spec offers you a-la-carte typing - typing when/where/how you please. This is very different from the experience of having to constantly satisfy a compiler. Generally I decide

Agree in principle, but any technique is frigthening at first. Clearly for the authors this is a usual workflow - they're productive with it, and they only had to pay the complexity cost once (when figuring out things). Once you get an

I see your point. Still that's quite an extreme case. Devs regularly questioning a programming language is not a code-review problem, or a should-I-be-a-jerk problem. It's more like the problem that you escalate to the CTO (with a

I think you should reword your question as it's not a realistic scenario. Engineers freely choose to learn Java and apply to Java job postings, and if that's not the case I doubt they'd be vocal against the "value"

Intelligence is (among other things) about reasoning - proving and disproving things. Also about communicating facts. How else could we exchange ideas? And in case of disagreement who would win?

I'd add that from an engineering perspective, 'brilliant' jerks aren't even that brilliant. An actually intelligent person is happy to prove his thinking via truthful argumentation (and unit tests, documentation, and so

I also feel this pain. The reward is high though (salary, remote, colleagues) so I remain motivated. One also can help creating job market by - starting up - introducing Clojure at work - evangelizing it at local meetups (e.g. hijack a JS m

Clojure has `defrecord`, so you can `defrecord User`. Then you can assert that `user` is a User, with type hints, preconditions, 'spec' (a Clojure library), tests, docstrings, or some ad-hoc convention ("this kind of namespac

My thoughts exactly. There are many ways to use Clojure, the laziest one of course being the least maintainable. No language can subsitute engineering principles, years of experience, empathy etc. I wrote a few hints of what I consider main

Hit the gym, first lift (might release some 'emotion'), then use the spa for definitely disconnecting. Hope it helps, it sure has helped me!

Will we ever accept the fact that women tend to be less inclined to do nerdy stuff (like developing Electron plugins instead of doing your actual coding job)? That doesn't imply that women are worse or unable, it's simply a matter

These days CI vastly means test-on-commit over anything else. Please google "CI platform" and see how Codeship, Circle, Travis etc self-advertise as CI platforms. None of them require TBD (not even nearly).

It's simple but it requires effort and habits. Many developers work using the opposite mindset, they prefer to trade short-term easiness for long-term complexity (which is kinda valid), instead of battling complexity upfront.
