It seems I got many things wrong about ClojureScript. If I don't use the closure compiler, can I use any requirejs javascript library without problem? Once you have the JavaScript version of the ClojureScript compiler, will it be reaso

Clojurescript has to be compiled by the google closure compiler on the server side. The closure compiler doesn't work out of the box with other libraries, you need some kind of bridge. Lispyscript has the very nice advantage of being a

Strange that he mentions a 101 Dalmatians film in 1985. I can't remember that and wikipedia knows nothing about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Hundred_and_One_Dalmatians... The 1961 film was actually rerele

The referendum system has been in place for more than a hundred years and it's hard to argue that Switzerland has a tradition of extremism. Far right parties are on the rise everywhere in Europe, regardless of the voting system.

Give us a little time. It's been only one week, the government and the politicians are still clueless about how to implement the text, while Europe is unleashing a mild shitstorm on the country. I bet that soon enough we will vote agai

Do people really understand this as an apology? Being sorry has two meanings in english, right? It can also mean that you share someone else's pain. If someone told me he's sorry about the rain, I would think what he really means

I agree with using IoC for different implementations, but I'm puzzled by those who want to use it everywhere, because it supposedly makes the code easier to test. Guice is a nice IoC framework, but look at what they say on their website: "T
