Spec is very useful, but please implement it without macros. Metosin did a great job to make it more usable, but we still struggle because specs could only exist in Namespaces. We want to use spec as EDN with pure functions. (+ recursive sp

Clojure is a different language. Being "fully compatible" with (more similar to) Java was never a goal.

Yup, Svelte is hot and Postgres is always a good decision! Thank you for the details, really interesting project! Once I built a CSS based browser MMO myself as a challenge. I used Clojurescript and React on the front end and Clojure with a

Basically you says if a type system is optional, people tend not to use it, because most of the times they are good without it. I agree. But we do use spec very successfully for complex data structure validations and example data generation

Clojure's startup time is very slow compared to other languages, but we balance it with fully reloadable systems both on the backend or frontend. Otherwise the speed is almost identical to the speed of native Java and native Javascript

Clojure has something like an extendable type system called Spec. We can create our own types lol

yes, immutable data is a core value of Clojure. OP said no wrong, but think about it: Bitcoin also just stole the good parts from other software projects. Really practical inventions usually gather the best ideas from a field.

looks like you don't know FP pure functions are completely separate to every other parts of your software, they are very readable and easy to debug * edit: don't write functions longer than a few lines

I agree! When I meet a girl, I ask her about macros and functions first. I except to hear something like: macro < function < data.

As an eastern european, I see the case a bit different. Corrupt governments and cheating locals were always able to "hack" voting. I would rather trust a blockchain based -fully transparent and real-time- voting system than the ac

HN creator Paul Graham was really into Lisp. HN has been built with his own Lisp, Arc. HN attracted many experienced programmers and experienced programmers usually like Lisp, because Lisp dialects are simple, elegant and powerful.

Lisp is the red pill to programming. A mind-blowing out-of-the-box experience. An alien technology. -- Lisp has a so called "no turning back point", true lispers cannot bear other dialects after experiencing it. From scientists in

I had a beautiful beginning with a lisp like programming language when I was 8 or something. Every other languages have been disappointments until I found Clojure a few years ago. I hope you will get it some day.

Clojure is great for fast prototyping I usually start with Boot + System https://github.com/danielsz/system and the holy grail: https://github.com/danielsz/system#the-holy-grail It is a full-stack
