I am more excited about ETags support than SPDY & Websockets. Etags (when used correctly) are extremely handy.

+1.

Something like `(uuid "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000")` can't be carried around as data whereas `#uuid "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"` can be.

Think about data interchange between Clojure & ClojureScript.

... and it costs 200 USD in India.

We have been using Mailgun at our startup for a month now and to say that I am very satisfied with Mailgun would be an understatement. Mailgun rocks and I would highly recommend it for any startup.

A great computer scientist != a great programmer.

It basically shows the number of seats left in the same fare-basis. The problem is with the communication, and not the supposed "algorithm".

That's not true (at least not any more). You now get an account on Manning the first time you buy a book and you can download the electronic versions of those books any time from your account.

Many vi users don't know that they don't use vi but use ViM which was created by Bram Moolenaar.

No wonder, Boxer is built on top of DOSBox, the industry standard FOSS DOS emulator.

What about the Expiry Date & the CVV?

  I never viewed money as being "my money" I always saw it
  as "The money" It's a resource. if it pools up around me
  then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.

Awesome thought.

It was made using SVG and ~200 lines of ClojureScript.

That talk was recorded as well and will be made available.

Yes, all the talks are being recording by professionals and will be available after the event is over.

Judging by the accent, I can guarantee that the scamsters were from the Indian subcontinent.

Redis has more than one contributors, but the founder and lead developer of Redis is Salvatore Sanfilippo aka @antirez. He is clearly a programming God.

Much more usable & interesting than the Lytro, IMHO.

Initially (1.2.x and older), all vars in Clojure were `dynamic` as in they could be rebound thread-locally. In Clojure 1.3, vars need the `:dynamic` metadata to be made dynamic. To ease the transition, in pre 1.3.0 Clojure, vars with earmuffs were automatically declared as dynamic with an warning. That behaviour is now gone in 1.3.0 and thus the new warning.

Bah, why the downvote? I was pointing out a major Lisp convention.

Nathan, Congratulations on the awesome work, Storm looks really great.

A minor nit, I was looking at the code, and all the hanging parens make it look really sad :-(

You'll have to use a custom ROM for this.

That ClojureScript is in no way related to this one. The former used to translate a subset of Clojure to JavaScript, the latter is a full-blown implementation of Clojure which targets JavaScript as the platform (as opposed to the JVM).

Sure, but Gevent monkey patches the stdlib and lets the programmer write code in a synchronous fashion which actually gets executed asynchronously. That, IMHO is a big win since it's easy to get stuck in the callback hell in Tornado. I have used Tornado in production and it's an awesome library/framework/server but things do get complicated when the app becomes complex.

ParenScript (or CoffeeScript) is not the same as ClojureScript. ParenScript "transforms" a subset of CL to JS, while ClojureScript is a full-fledged target runtime for Clojure. For example, something like

  (parenscript:ps (defun square (x) (* x n))) ;; [sic]

will compile fine to "incorrect" JS code. Try doing the same in ClojureScript, you'll get an error/warning from the compiler. This applies to CoffeeScript, etc. as well.

Update - To summarise, ClojureScript is to Clojure what ABCL is to Common Lisp.

That ClojureScript is the (mostly experimental & now obsolete) work done by Chris Houser quite some time back. These two are not the same thing.

Awesome work, Dr. Barski! The site doesn't have your name anywhere, but I figured it was you from the drawing style.

Yet another piece of awesomeness from you (after Land of Lisp).

Getting a good job in a startup shouldn't be hard for a JS developer like you. Check out http://jobs.hasgeek.in/ You can also send me your resume and I will forward it to people I know.
