The fact that it was "hard to buy" is absolutely irrelevant.

>For all the outrage, I yet have to see a single person in Argentina produce a TXHASH that proves they put money on the project.

So, it's OK to participate and promote a memecoin rugpull if they're not from your own country?

Good. The next step should be to get out of NATO and join BRICS :-)

SBCL (the most popular Common Lisp implementation) is pretty darn fast, being comparable to Java, Go or OCaml.

Jesus, why? This is a bummer.

Wake up, feel the dread of having to work 8 hours again, avoid getting out of bed until 5 minutes before my team's daily, take dutasteride and drink some water, get working and procrastinate as much as possible while avoiding getting fired

How did you get a job like that? Sounds pretty good

I agree with your criticism but those "mistakes" sadly come with inheriting implementation details of the hosted environment. As far as I understand, ClojureScript couldn't workaround some JavaScript limitations regarding macros and thus had to go with `:require-macros`.

A workaround is using Reader Conditionals (https://clojure.org/reference/reader#_reader_conditionals) and specifying platform differences where they matter, but it's awkward to say the least. What most projects do is to separate "common" namespaces and use the `.cljc` extension to indicate they're multi platform, and keep platform specific things in namespaces with `.clj`, `.cljs`, etc.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The battery life is absolutely atrocious and the health readings are unreliable.

I still want to give smartwatchs a chance but this definitely didn't convince me. Who wants another thing to charge every single day? I have enough with my phone already...

This is how Clojure does it, take a look at this: https://clojure.org/reference/transients

It's great, one of the many awesome features Clojure has.

I need to know if it comes with Photon microGUI! Please, lord, let it happen...

Incredible work. A native Clojure would be a dream come true!

Wish jank the best of lucks. Hope I can contribute soon.

Not strictly related (because it doesn't have a working REPL yet) but may also find ClojureDart of interest.

As someone who signed contract to rent recently, "rent falling" is beyond bullshit. Listing increase is true, doesn't mean they're "good" listings though.

Well, at least I don't feel so alone now. Same situation here: LinkedIn is silent, or I'm getting really bad offers. My experience being mostly in Clojure certainly doesn't help either.

Plus, interviews have become really intense. I recently had an interview (the first one, "HR") that consisted of me talking about myself and my experience for 10 minutes, without any questions from the interviewer, and then it went straight into a coding challenge (a change-making problem, which I couldn’t finish in time).

If you can find some, let me know.

The 8 hour 5-days work week is so outdated it's not even funny anymore. I want to do more stuff than just work my whole damn life...

>If someone could give me the ergonomics of Clojure, but without the JVM and the ability to easily target 1/ native (incl easy bidirectional C iterop), 2/ wasm, and 3/ support both in aot and runtime + JIT modes, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Might want to look at Jank (https://jank-lang.org/, https://github.com/jank-lang/jank). It's still in it's early stages but it's basically all you're hoping for!

As a Clojure backend dev (3YOE), I've noticed the same. Clojure jobs have always been few and far between but I believe it's slowing down even more lately.

Maybe it's time to move on from Clojure, though I really love it. I need to specialize in something, find a niche...

Yet another alternative for drawing directly on the framebuffer is DirectFB 2: https://directfb2.github.io/

It supports Vulkan, OpenGL, Cairo and other technologies.

What government that has an active military cares about the lives of their soldiers beyond their utility value? I don't see how the US is different in that regard.

Be born again as the son of a billionaire.

This is why working for startups gives me PTSD. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I suggest checking out Jaka Parker's video. He's a diplomat that can go to places where most tourists can't.

>Rest of world is moving toward 4-day work week Where, exactly, is this happening?

Any details about this personal faith of yours? Is it like pantheism?

Clojure is my favorite language by far, it feels natural to me.

That said, the two things which I truly miss from other languages are: understandable error messages (as mentioned by other people) and typing hints.

I've had to refactor large code at work and it's been a pain. It's hard to know when a function will throw an exception or just return nil, it's hard to know if a core function will return a vector, a sequence, or another type of collection, and so on and on. There are some projects that try to address this (spec, malli, typed clojure) but I haven't found them to be a good replacement to something among the lines of python/typescript typing.

>6-7 years is a pretty reasonable amount to get out of a consumer electronic device

According to whom? I find it unacceptable. There is nothing stopping a 2016 Mac from running a modern OS (and it indeed runs with latest Windows/Linux).

I propose starving people to death in countries we don't like. That way the people will surely revolt against their government and we can then go in and spread democracy :)

If you don't mind me asking, how much revenue do you get per month from all your paid extensions?
