Just want to say this is super cool. I'm excited to see what people build on top of it.. seems like it could enable a new category of hosted data platforms-as-a-service (platform-as-a-services?).

There was a bit of a conference hiatus worldwide due to the pandemic, but the Clojure community (including Rich) is definitely still active.

Yeah.. I have all the respect in the world for Haifeng's talent and I totally understand (and agree!) that open source developers need to be compensated one way or another, and I don't want to get into a debate that could lead to

I don't disagree at all, but unfortunately it's mostly out of the hands of any community to recommend or enforce usage of a given library. There are many valid concerns around GPL licensing (not that I necessarily agree with them)

This is correct, you can compile Clojure to native code using GraalVM. There are many heavily used projects that do this.

There are actually a surprising number of academics in the Clojure for data science study groups. A lot of them ran into performance or portability issues with Python or R and found Clojure tools as a good solution.

The literate programming story is great in Clojure. Clay ( https://github.com/scicloj/clay ) is also a great option and supports rendering to quarto notebooks, which are IMO one of the best publishing options out there f

Most Clojure guides understandably focus on the Clojure language itself. As a hosted language, Clojure relies on various mechanisms of its host platform (for example the JVM, CLR or Javascript) for building, dependency management and packag

I think your analysis doesn't account for the fact that the majority of double vaccinated people are also at far higher risk of covid to begin with. There was an interesting article about this (Simpson's Paradox, as it's know

This! Women who get into business or tech or whatever aren't "emulating men". Many are actually genuinely interested in those pursuits. A lot of women just do not want to be homemakers. Many do, sure, and it should be a viabl

Interestingly, single, childless women are also the happiest population demographic. ( https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/may/25/women-h... ) I don't disagree homemaking should be less stig

Jira. But seriously. The main one is a lack of ownership. When there are 20 different people asking for stuff from engineering and no on managing or prioritizing those requests, I'm out. That's chaos.

America doesn't need healthcare innovation. Every developed country in the world has better and cheaper healthcare already. They need policy innovation and a functioning political system.

I feel exactly the same. I'm literally at a point where I feel like I just don't even know how to do my job anymore. I've done all the bullshit people here are suggesting, it doesn't work for some people, including me. T

This is so true but my biggest struggle. Everything I have just shipped before I thought it was ready did really well, yet I still struggle to do it. I built my own static site generator, which I use for my own blog: https://gith

I leave TODO lying around about what I was going to do next (clean these up before merging obvs), and also take actual hand-written notes about what solutions I'm thinking about. I tend to spend 90% of my time programming thinking, tho
