Any large codebase can be broken up into small isolated components that can be reasoned about independently. This is how you structure Clojure projects if you want them to be maintainable. Clojure inherently encourages doing this by default

I find that Babashka has completely solved the problem for cases where I need fast startup with Clojure. I've been using it for all my scripting, and it works fantastic. The best part is that you can develop it interactively via the RE

1) In my experience there is little value in frameworks in modern applications where there tends to be a clear split between the frontend and the backend. The backend is typically structured as a set of stateless services that the frontend

That is not what's happening at all. China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa, and lots of other countries are currently building an alternative to western economy. These countries are where majority of the world population lives.

Your argument is based on a fallacy. The whole reason PHP became popular was that it was easy to get started with. The barrier for using PHP or JavaScript is very low. The opposite is true for a language like Clojure.

Firefox here because it works well and I think it's important to have at least two independent browser engine implementations. If Chromium ends up being the only engine around then the web protocols will basically be whatever Chromium

If Clojure was a bad tool then people wouldn't be using it in the first place. There is a big barrier to getting started with Clojure because it's semantically different from mainstream languages. The mere fact that people use it

I've certainly seen far worse messes produced in languages like Java than in Clojure myself.

As the saying goes, a bad workman always blames his tools. You can make a mess in any language, and Clojure is no exception. There are plenty of ways to mitigate the problems the author describes. A few of these things would be having codin

Yup, once you come to appreciate the elegance of Clojure, most other languages start feeling very clunky. Completely agree that defaulting to immutability was an excellent decision. I also find that having everything operate on a common set

Babashka is an excellent Clojure runtime with fast startup that I use for all my scripting needs nowadays. Best part is that you can develop with it interactively via nREPL just like regular Clojure. You just run bb --nrepl-server and conne

Thing is that Clojure is a very different language from Java in pretty much every way. People who use Clojure are typically drawn to it because it's a Lisp and facilitates interactive development. I highly doubt that it's populari

Been using Clojure for over a decade now, and I see these articles at least once a year. The reality is that Clojure is used more than ever today, with more libraries, tools, and companies around it. It was a viable language for many years,

There is no evidence to support the claim that the sanctions make it more difficult for Russia to import what they need or that the sanctions have slowed down Russian military-industrial complex in any way. In fact, a British military think

Fantastic work on the extension. In terms of ideas for next steps, my suggestion would be to consider automating the process of creating and invoking cljs files. One big use I can see for this is creating ad hoc scripts to do stuff in the e

Consumption is the root cause of the emissions. As long as the demand for goods continues, they have to be produced somewhere. Whether the factories are in US or in China is completely irrelevant. Furthermore, China is now a world leader in
