This looks like a nice intro to a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Instead they are doing doing the C++/Scala way: with complexity.

Good thing I have Clojurescript...

Most of the times the news are loaded without popups and sometimes with wrong CSS but still readable.

Sometimes I need to enable js only for the actual host for it to work. In the end it's worth the hassle.

The experiment was a success then.

The most important information in the article.

Imagine how the world would be a better place with all these people working as scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, etc.

"...In their single-mindedness, they would view their biological creators as mere collections of matter..."

These two sentences are contradictory.

- If you don't know what you are doing or you are doing for the first time, there's no point in estimate as your estimations will be off anyway.

- If you know what you are doing and already did it before, there's no point in estimate as you already know how much time it'll take.

A very simple and crude dungeon crawl made when I was learning Clojure (the code is very bad as I was learning the language).

That works if there's only Java calls in your chain. I, for one, prefer to use the more generic threading macros.

    (group-by :age [{:name "joe" :age 13 :sex \m}
                    {:name "sara" :age 13 :sex \f}
                    {:name "John" :age 20 :sex \m}])
    => {13 [{:age 13, :sex \m, :name "joe"} {:age 13, :sex \f, :name "sara"}],
        20 [{:age 20, :sex \m, :name "John"}]}

Anyway I agree static typing was a big plus for java for the sole reason many people believe dynamic languages are just for scripts and small hacks.
