Java has more build tools then Clojure, so thus is more “more fragmented” apparently. I replied “wat” as a slang version of “what” and a short version of “what do you mean” because that’s the only reasonable reply to “spec seems kind of wei

So clojure has three main build tools: Lein, deps, and boot. Meanwhile in the java world you have: Gradle, Maven, Ant, etc... > And Clojure CLI tools also seem like a total shitshow compared to go or rust’s tooling. Wat > Spec seems k

Even in the most naive models your "market value" is based off Demand (how many jobs) AND supply (how many people can do the job), you need to be concerned about the ratio, not one side or the other. If Pytyon has 100 jobs and 100

I'm saying that it's hard to build a basic lego block with another lego block. You have to use plastic, heat and a mold. That's why we have a wide range of programming languages at different levels, and why it's common f

CSS suffers from the lack of composability and organizational features found in modern high level programming languages. If your excited about modern css features like "is" or "has", then you agree it needs more function

correct. the way i see it, lisp operates at the abstraction level of lists. which most people call "user applications". if you need to build things that build the building blocks of lists it's not a good fit.

I'm asking a question about human psychology really. Maybe in a too cheeky way, because I feel some language enthusiasts, unintentionally, do the same by implying there programs are "safer" by being more constrained, without

it's not clear to me, and from the studies i have seen, that Haskell leads to less unintended exceptions than Clojure. haskell might certainly lead to less nil pointer expections, but that doesn't even mean the faulty logic is eas

clojure can turn a data api into a first class clojure library with relatively less effort. e.g https://github.com/cognitect-labs/aws-api

and clojure has several such frameworks.

yes, everyone in these communities does this to some degree: typescript, coffeescript, scala, kotlin, etc...

i feel like it's like a lisp macro, but it's more like a neural net. is that a fair assessment?

clojure spec will do this in the way you're asking.

Because noise cancelling only works on constant noise. So if you use it at sleep time, load sudden noises will seem more alarming.

Because you don't just drop into the reply in tests. You can drop into the repl on a production system. Or during a live dev env. No more guessing what the input was that blew things up, your gonna do that investigation on the real pat

What's happening here is more subtle. The interviewers question didn't carry enough information to get the answer they wanted. They created a puzzle where you needed to ask for more information. Intentionally or not, they were dis

The repl is another tool. I can and do run my tests in the repl. I can set my tests to run everything I change a fill, now the repl has enhanced my tests. The reason the repl is widely used in clojure is because it's the fastest way to
