While Rust is great, one of the things I love with LISP (Clojure) is once you spend 3 min learning the syntax you know it or can guess the syntax in 99% of cases. No need to look up how to do something complicated, just look at the order of arguments.

Congrats on the book Yehonathan! I remember meeting you at ClojuTre some years ago, nice to see you're keeping up the good work!

In comparison to SF/LA/NY etc. we have very few homeless people in Scandinavia. If I were to speculate then I think our extensive social security systems (free healthcare & education etc.) is the reason why. But then we all pay 30-55 % tax on our income to fund that social security.

A lot of people agree that while Clojure has a lot of powerful things going for it, documentation is not one of them, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCkOo5Y4Oo

It's definitely overwhelming in the beginning but after a while docstrigs + reading code seems to hit a very good tradeoff for me. And just using comments for weird or unexpected behaviour.

There are alos efforts to put more focus on documentation though: https://cljdoc.xyz/

Great work!

I program mostly in ClojureScript which will "throw" a compiler warning if I misspell a variable. But to get that in an editor is a bit more setup than to just fire up vanilla vim.

Super cool! Even though I'm far from musical I instantly got the urge to come up with some tunes :)

In Clojure macros are not overused IMO.Even though they are fully supported the community encourages you to only use it when it's absolutely necessary.

I can recommend elementary os for people that would like a polished Linux distro

While policy will always be more important than individual contributions, for people wondering what they can do to address their personal carbon footprint without having a negative impact on their life: https://www.goclimateneutral.org

Btw, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just think it's a great service.

I love metabase! I know that you're running a Clojure backend, did you ever consider a similar approach there (cljfmt or any of the other ones?)?

How's that working for you compared to vanilla node on serverless? And are you using it for an API or just minor services?

While I agree with you on HDT's quality as an author I'm confused by how the parent comment was _social justice left_. Could you please clarify?

Again I'm no expert, but some Googling states that the medieval was indeed possibly hotter at some places on Earth but that this was due to difference in solar radiation and absence of vulcanic eruptions, factors that are not in play today.

On a more personal note, if a scientific consensus is not it, what kind of information would be able to convince you that man made global warming is real?

Say 97 % of doctors agree that you will die if you don't change your lifestyle. Would you not change your lifestyle even though there's a theoretical possibility that you will die irregardless?

We're developing a smart pillbox with a mobile app written in ClojureScript with React Native and a backend written in Clojure. http://pilloxa.com

Haha awesome, determine fines with a PID-controller

Thanks!

I see, that makes total sense and I've run into that exact problem in my React Native app. Global defines take seconds to be defined initially since they need to execute functions. Would still be interested in benchmarks tough

I was under the impression that V8 and the like are so optimized that this would give marginal gains. Would love to be wrong though. Do you have any performance benchmarks?

Great stuff! Could there be an option to disable the notification for certain "less security critical remotes"?

It used to be illegal to direct TV ads at kids in Sweden but it's now been legalized to harmonize with the TV channels that were broadcasting from the UK. Even though it's legal the networks have refrained from doing it as far as I'm aware. Not sure about other mediums though.

I was just addressing the issues outlined in the post. I would hardly define ClojureScript as a language that came from JavaScript.

Naturally there are cases when a typed language is better than a dynamic one.

The solution is called React Native.

- Single file app: Check

- Super fast rebuild: Check

- Dynamic language (high reusability and one-liners): Check (Use ClojureScript to take this even further)

Weirdly enough I find that Firefox works better than Chrome with Hangouts a lot of the time

Floki is a great lib, used it to write a very basic URL polling CLI tool in just 72 lines of code: https://github.com/vikeri/proba/blob/master/lib/proba.ex
