Perfect, thanks!

Any good article recommendations that explain the reasoning to the switch to Chez Scheme as a platform for Racket?

yeah BEAM didn't google well

I'm not sure about resources, but there's a mode called evil mode that has vim bindings. That would be a good thing to google.

I think Chicken Scheme recently became r7rs in their new version 5

I've never heard it stated that way, but I can strongly identify with this. After 18 yrs in the industry, I am finding more and more that I enjoy improving much more than building.

I've never heard that. I do remember seeing here on Hacker News an old job ad for Amazon (close to founding) that was looking for C++ programmers.

[edit] Just found it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ba.jobs.offered/-rvJ...

I'm interested to see how contracts (`clojure.spec` is a new implemenation of them Clojure) can be used to make reading, debugging and maintaining Clojure easier.

Hey Google, You got your fingers in too much of my life already. I'm going to avoid you also being my bank.

No, but give me 50 years and I'll tell you a good one.

Should add (2013) and [video] to the title

That's a good question. I didn't make an effort to compare them, but it seems like it would be Racket because writing DSLs seems to be Racket's specialty, plus it's already a lisp.

Have you tried Clojurescript on nodejs for Raspberry pi? We have used nodejs on Raspberry Pi with success. I've wanted to try Clojurescript on it, but our shop doesn't use it. I imagine it would work great with it's good JS interop features.

I don't know really what the legal penalty would be, but I can see why someone might take the fall for a company if the company offered some big incentives.

Does anyone have any insight on this reflecting on a higher supply of devs and/or lower demand of employers (bad market for developers)?

I'm going to do my best and make sure that doesn't happen. The frustration lies in needing to remove the risks from the new computer.

More ranting... When will computer manufacturers realize that people want quality, safe stuff, and actually try to compete with Apple?

After not owning a dell for years, I just bought one for the kids to use shortly before the news of the security issue came last weekend. Frustrating!

One thing that's great about Clojure and Clojurescript is that they run on Java and Javascript platforms respectively, and are easy to interoperate with those platforms. For a business that wants to crank out some code, being able to use the libraries that others have created for those platforms makes the decision to use them for production systems much easier.

I wonder how much involvement her dad had in in this video. A lot of it did seem like she genuinely knew what she was doing. In any case, she is a natural communicator!

I've got a little experience with both. I went full bore into DRF, and found myself wrestling with the framework too much. I wanted to use the framework (ModelSerializer), but found it difficult to find the hooks to customize some behavior. Then going down a layer of abstraction felt like I had to do too much. This is probably the reality of any framework, not necessarily the fault of DRF.

Right now I'm using django-restless. I'm sticking with it for now. It uses Django forms for validation, which works ok even though they weren't meant for validating json input. Now I'm wondering if it would be best to just use Django, and be restless in style. Perhaps DRF, restless or some other libraries would have some pieces that I could use in a more library fashion if I wanted them.

It would be nice if we could see the results

Makes sense! I didn't realize those companies use OSM. Thanks.

Could anyone explain what the benefit might be to investing in an open source service like OpenStreetMap? This is a sincere question.

[edit] I know that the concept is brilliant, it's a great service, and has great potential. Will investors potentially build chargeable products that use it? Why not just invest more into their product to enhance it?

How did you find out the details of the software he's using?

I zoomed out, and was able to see clouds.

That is an interesting perspective, and a good explanation of it. I even like that you admit that you don't know how the complexity of life was created. I am not against science and the study of how things came to be. However, science has gotten it wrong for a very long time. It was science that said the earth was flat until it was proven otherwise. Isaiah 40:21-22 refers to the circle of the earth. We both have made a choice. I have chosen to believe in a creator God, and you have chosen not to. I believe it is easier to believe in God than not to. You keep working on explaining there's no God, I will keep marvelling at God's creation.

When I see a building, I know there was a creator. When I see the complexity of life, I know there's a creator. But you are all smarter than me, so you will downvote this bigtime. I DON'T CARE!

EDIT: Ok, maybe I care a little, but the truth must be spoken.

Did you know you can get skype on Ubuntu/linux?
