I don't know about Go, but it certainly is as fast as Java. And it can definitely be faster than your average Java program, because you will have a really easy time doing concurrency. That is why it is a neat language, worth investigat

Yeah, the concepts are different, but usage overlaps. That is why I consider them equal.

What is the history of the `.` notation? In Javascript obj={key: "val"};obj.key === obj["key"]; => true and the same in many other languages, like Java, C#, Elm, Haskell (I think) et cetera. The only ones in co

What does this mean for compile-to-js languages, like Clojurescript, Elm (and ES2015 one might argue)?

On a slightly unrelated note: Would it be possible to make a webapp like Meteor in Clojure pretty easily, using CSP go-style channels ang go-threads. I imagine a function would "broadcast" or "listen to" websocket connec

Great collection! Love these kinds of stories - hate to struggle with these kinds of problems.

Yes, mutating something at one place in memory is more efficient, because you don't need to allocate new memories. I don't know all to much about other functional languages, as I learned perl -> ruby -> javascript -> litt

One thing I've noticed since coding with immutable data structures & functions (rather than mutable OOP programs) is how tests run really fast, and are easy to run in parallell. I/O only happens in a few functions, and most ot

There is just so much interesting stuff going on in Clojureland. I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. From pushing the state of the art in web clients and servers (Reagent, Rum, Om, Ring, Compojure & friends), to go-styl

Doing those exercises in Javascript (which I'm very familiar with and has better functions than Python, IMO) really helped me understand compilers, and lisp better. Lisps are awesome, and I've been picking up a lot of Clojure late

This is cool for Atom users! But it's also a sign of how text-based interfaces are extremely versatile in their simplicity. If Atom like many other great editors (vi, emacs, yi) was text-based at the core (although the examples have gr

People who talk about swift compare it to Rust and Go. I can see how the syntax is to ObjC what Go is to C++. Else but that, in what way is Swift anything like Go or Rust? To me (someone who does Lisp & JS, so none of these all) go seem

I miss old Google... Their UI was the simplest, most basic of all saas companies. My browser uses my GPU and my computer has 4x as many cores, and 4x as much memory. But googles web pages are unusable on my machine. It may not make web desi

Unprofitable still, right? Pretty much sums up the Berlin scene... Them and Soundcloud, making about as big of a profit as my beer and club habit. Written from a bedroom by Jannowitzbrücke. Tschüssi~
