Usage has only been growing in my experience, I've never had a problem finding a Clojure jobs having used it for over 15 years now. Do you live under a rock or something?

I'm not telling you the reasons why you write code the way you do. I'm just telling you about my experience of using the language, which clearly differs from yours. I never found protocols to be useful as a type checking tool, and
423.

The whole premise of static typing is that type errors can be caught at compile time. Java type system allows for kinds of errors to be caught at compile time that will not be caught by using protocols in Clojure. Yes, you can run the compi
424.
by yogthos 2y ago
Even if you did, that wouldn't solve the problem because many checks are still done at runtime. Also, if you started doing that then you might as well just write Java at that point. I've worked on code bases structured in this way
425.
by yogthos 2y ago
That's not quite true though. Java tracks types in the signatures of the functions, defprotocol does not. If I make a protocol and then pass a wrong type as a parameter to it then I'll get a runtime error. It's not going to t
426.
by yogthos 2y ago
I'd argue defprotocol, deftype, and defrecord provide much weaker guarantees than a type system. Dtuff like defprotocol tends to serve a similar use case to using an interface in Java. You specify the signatures for the functions, and

I've used Clojure for over a decade and the JVM has never been an issue. The only people I see complaining about the JVM are people who never actually worked with it. Meanwhile, there's zero evidence for the notion that static typ

US market isn't likely to grow much going forward though, while developing countries have a lot of growth potential. Meanwhile, TikTok is bringing in at least 10bln annually already. Pure profit isn't the only thing that makes it

by yogthos 2y ago
That's true, but the sheer volume of users outside the US more than makes up for that.

I'm not sure why people keep expecting ByteDance to actually sell TikTok. The US isn't even that big of a market for them in global terms. India was a bigger market for them, and it was way bigger than the US. They're just go

I'd argue that the main thing this illustrates is how silly the argument that s-exps are hard to read is. A very slight syntactic change makes Clojure look just like Python. Anybody who claims they just can't wrap their head aroun

Babashka is definitely the most exciting thing currently happening in Clojure world in my opinion. And thanks, always great to hear my stuff ends up being useful. :)

The best part about Babashka is that it's really batteries included nowadays. I had to make a little UI to display some stats about an app at work, and decided to try using it with HTMX. Turned out to be a really good experience. Babas

Once again, inflation is a result of business owners choosing to raise the prices. If money that's created goes directly to consumers, then it allows business owners to raise prices on goods. However, that's not what's happen

Sure, that's part of it, and the other half of the equation is that when economic crashes happen the rich use their liquid assets to buy up physical assets that everyone else if forced to let go this concentrating tangible wealth with
