It's worth mentioning that there are a few options for light weight Clojure dialects nowadays https://github.com/borkdude/babashka https://fennel-lang.org/ https://ferret-lang.org/

Clojure isn't actually a purely functional language. It's more of a consenting adults language that guides you towards doing the right thing by default. If you write idiomatic Clojure code, then it will be written in a purely func

Language is not a immutable, however the problem in US is precisely that people don't understand what fascism is. You have literal fascist organizations, you have white supremacy, you have tight coupling between the government and the

Your comparison is the definition of a false equivalence fallacy. And words have meaning, and the fact that many people in US don't understand what the fascism means is not a reason to stop using the term. This simply shows the need fo

Might want to read up on some of Facebook history in promoting extremist ideology because it's good business. Here are a couple of links to get you started https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-knows-it-encourages-

Anybody working for Facebook is knowingly and willingly helping promote fascism. These people have some of the best job options out there, and they're actively choosing to work for a company that's actively harmful to society.

Both are implemented in Clojure, but there's nothing Clojure specific involved in their usage.

Crux https://opencrux.com and Datomic https://www.datomic.com are worth mentioning as well. Both are able to leverage existing relational databases like Postgres internally.

I think what's going to happen is that countries like China are going to lead the way with covid drug and vaccine development.

This is precisely what's going to happen.

Wonder why this is being downvoted, this is literally what's happening with every other drug in US right now. For example, insulin is dirt cheap everywhere except US where people can't afford it and die trying to ration it.

The point here is that profit has no place in things like healthcare in the first place. People's lives should not be evaluated in terms of profitability. This also results in completely wrong incentives. For example, making a treatmen

When the worst case scenario is the end of human civilization we absolutely should drive policy to avoid that. It's absolutely surreal that anybody would argue otherwise. >No, we're seeing warming and minor sea level rise right

The big difference here is that the risk of climate scientists being right is that billions of people die. Meanwhile, all the observed evidence either fits the models or is rapidly outpacing the predictions made by the models. We're no

The scientists did not fail to prepare for the pandemic, and the countries that had scientists in the driving seat handled the pandemic very well. For example, Vietnam currently has no deaths from covid-19 precisely because scientists were

The article seems to completely forget about climate change. The current pandemic is going to look like a tiny speed bump in a few years when we start seeing regular deadly heat waves, crop failures, and other natural disasters. Billions of
