Yep. Awful food. Not, "awful Indian food". Awful by any standard. I don't think the founders had any experience with food before doing Tava.

There's a VC funded Indian burrito joint in Palo Alto. I've eaten lunch there three times, once with a potential investor. Food's terrible to boot.

Noir is deprecated, use vanilla ring + libnoir or Luminus.

Would be great if not for the CPS. I end up doing something similar except with Clojure instead of Node.js for my projects lately.

Take a look at Luminus.

Recently left Heroku, too many failures. The last week I had my app on Heroku availability was in the realm of ~60-80%. Between that and the obscenely slow and overpriced Postgres...nope. (Clojure user, I don't think Heroku's platform plays

Carthago delenda est: when are you re-releasing the software you yanked from your Github?

Are you going to re-release the stuff you yanked off your github?

CL is Common Lisp. The go-to for Clojure is Luminus, which is less of a framework and more of a "web best practices" project template.

They're not saturated yet. DO's CPU performance has generally been worse than Linode's in benchmarks and that was before the recent Linode upgrade so they're probably even further behind now. It's not that DO is good, it's that SoftLayer is

Then this is even sillier, SoftLayer non-dedi is pointless, they're notorious for being overpriced as a brand.

It's not as good as Python yet but rapidly getting better. There's an excellent SQL abstraction library (Korma), Ring makes for a nice WSGI equivalent, Compojure and Clabango combined give you a Flask'ish experience, and there are a goodly

I use DigitalOcean but this is silly. 1. SoftLayer is well known for being over-priced. 2. They have a startup program you can use to get like $10k in credits. 3. DigitalOcean isn't anywhere near saturated. Remember the golden days of EC2?

More powerful language (primitives, concision, macros), more performance (JVM fun-ness). Some aspects of the JVM (slow-start) are icky but the tooling works around it (in-runtime auto-reload without restarting the JVM). I'm a grumpy old CL'

The beauty of concurrency in Clojure: ; Rough sketch: def defines a var (pretend it's a reference) ; @ is used to dereference the future and block to wait for the result. (def f (future (Thread/sleep 10000) (println "done")

Clojure, I used to do Python with Django or Flask. HTML/CSS aren't optional so I don't know why you included that in the list. I've tried Node.js, hated it.

I prefer Clojure/Ring if I'm going to be doing web stuff on the JVM, but if I had to pick between those two, I'd go with Play. I don't think either is a terrible choice though.

Bodil Stokke is a good person to follow in general (on Github and Twitter) if you're into Clojure. The name made me chuckle. The Hindley-Milner actually makes seeing where the type system comes in a little difficult with these examples. Hop

Is this a coping mechanism for dealing with burnout for you?

Pretty hard to "get to that point" when your editor isn't programmable. Which goes back to my original point. Seen lots of IDEs and editors come and go. Nothing new here, just more polish than the last guy.

>doesn't address what Sublime is missing at all. Being a fully programmable work environment. Edit: I used ST2 for about a month. The Python was neat but it's going to fade away eventually.

People need to get out of this habit of embedding view/template in the backend code. It's impractical and problematic in any situation where there's division of labor. Otherwise interesting web framework, makes me want to look into MoonScri

"Turbo shots" or "red eyes" in your coffee are a placebo btw. Espresso has a lower concentration of caffeine than standard drip. So by putting a "turbo shot" in your cup, you're actually lowering the caffeine concentration. Wants to be hype
