Did you (or your team) find rust's development efficiency to be less than that of go? (was it lack of libraries? was rust too low-level?)

I'm enjoying the new write-up on ownership/references/borrowing! It reads more like an fascinating reading on PL concept than a language-specific manual. Great work!

A fork sounds like the right thing to do given Unkown's (BDFL for gog project) wishes [1]. I wish Gitea goodluck.

I've conceived open-source projects as "democratic". It strikes me now that the governance model of choice for many open source projects is autocracy. Maybe that isn't a reasonable choice for a sufficiently large open source projects - like gog.

It's still difficult for me to imagine a future where programs are organic instead of specific and dry machine instructions. I caught myself thinking of alternative solutions that doesn't require clojure.spec (e.g. why don't we make sure to never write candidate functions that isn't correctly "typed"? Then we can simply forget about checking the specs), but I think that defeats the spirit of this exercise - that tools like clojure.spec enables us to create more intelligent programs.

Where is the background images taken place?

Out of curiosity, where would one find an explanation (potentially dry, long, and complicated) of the algos you mention here?

In other words - how did you get to know them?

I see a follow up to the article which provides further motivations - http://blog.reverberate.org/2013/09/ll-and-lr-in-context-why... - but I don't see a blog post diving into the algos.

Hey jawspeak - can you tell us a little bit more about the kind of technology you use at square?

I tend to think the other way - the more popular the language, the more mature it's open source libraries. For instance, there are amazing open source java libraries out that's been battle tested in the wild.

Also, isn't the alternative of debugging open-source libraries writing the functionalities you need yourself? Working with faulty open source library is tedious, but that work can be seen as way to contributing your time to make open source library better for everyone.

what in the world?

I'm especially appalled by your response to Trump's comments about Gonzalo Curiel. Non-uniqueness does not give pardon to his ridiculous, insensitive, and racist comment. Besides, Trump suggested Gonzalo Curiel's judgment was biased because he was Mexican - how can you claim that this is a rhetorical device akin to Obama's "demonstrably false" statement about purchasing a gun in America? What sensation did Mr. Trump raise other than bigotry and hatred of others? I don't find his comments acceptable especially because he's running for a president!

Cool. Can anyone tell me what keywords may be useful in exploring this topic? Textbooks?

I don't understand either.

I agree, but I feel extremely pessimistic that typical universities will willingly accept such credits (my simple assumption being thay most universities are aimed for profit). In fact, i think most universities are focused on creating their own MOOCs to replace their own 700+ student 100-level courses instead of working towards a common MOOC offerings.

lovely

I was walking through the tutorial - noticed a bad hyperlink at the bottom of the page (https://wit.ai/docs/quickstart) "recipes" (s/"https://wit.ai/recipes/"/"https://wit.ai/docs/recipes")

awesome!

impressive :). long live the master

hey ar7hur - excited about the release.

i've seen/heard that wit.ai likes to use clojure (lisp for AI programming? of course!). was clojure used to power Bot Engine? if so, how did your team like the experience?

appreciate your effort to make this seem slightly less creepy!

i've been fairly happy with Leiningen but have no experience using mix - i'm curious to know what you really liked about mix that leinigen doesn't have.

Exciting! Zach Tellman's work had always impressed me. Looking forward to seeing what he brings this time around.

Thanks for the link - that is a thorough documentation. However, given that codebeat is a product targeted towards developers, I find it confusing that the landing page does not even try to define GPA or what 'code quality' means.

I had not realized that Clojure is well regarded in data science. Could you point to some libraries you find especially strong?

Could you elaborate? What about shen makes you say this?

Congratulations! Hope too see Cursive mature and grow with clojure language

is there any reason for the emphasis on "journalism" other than the fact that the author of the library is a journalist?

thank you for your reply

Could you provide an example in stat analysis where python is clearly inferior? In the article, R seems to have an advantage of having many useful stat functions baked in vs having to import specific modules in python. im wondering if your proficiency in R is being weighed in your evaluation of R - maybe python's statistical analysis tool has many to offer, but you are more aware of R's toolsets.

very excited to see the development. hope to see many apps built using phoenix.
