If you're interested in learning about them, those two links are going to do a better job of explaining what both Typed Clojure and Schema are that I am across a few comments. Wrt the typing of Maps and Arrays, what Clojure supports go

Clojure supports strong typing if you want it: https://github.com/Prismatic/schema https://github.com/clojure/core.typed These are both libraries that you can choose to use. Both Typed Clojure an

This is very cool. I'd pay $ (5ish) for a couple of other ways to use this: * a bookmarklet that allowed me to select text on my blog or on one of my github pages and analyze it * emacs integration * a command line tool that worked lik

I lead a team of 4 at a company in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs. We'll be adding more members later this year and Clojure is our primary back-end language (we also use Ruby and lots of JavaScript). We have been quite happy with it for man

I am talking about the cultures surrounding these languages and frameworks. Node's community rejects blocking libraries. Java's does not. I've used the non-blocking frameworks in Perl (POE and my own), C (select, and some of the poll var

This. The biggest difference is in the two cultures: blocking is anathema to the Node.js community - they will literally reject libraries or code that blocks because it destroys the entire model; the JVM community does not value non-blocki

I think the article is a great explanation. I'm not sure I (exactly) agree with the conclusion "dynamic vars also breaks referential transparency" - isn't it the combination of lexical closure (referring to symbols from outside the functio

One of the advantages I find in pair-programming is that the 'navigator' (the one who's not typing) will often catch this kind of thing as it is happening. "Hey, that's just a while loop, or better yet just use `Clear`". There are other (

As nano-tech advances and replicators become more commonplace, hardware will face the same issues with patents and the seeming absurdity of patenting an 'obvious idea'.

In the 1st you could say I snuck JScheme in under the radar when I first introduced it. For the 2nd I was actively recruited to the team. I personally believe that this was because I made a conscious effort in the fall of 2008 to start bei

I'm at my 3rd organization with Clojure, started in late 2008 (I think). In the first I had used Jscheme as an extension and scripting language for one of our JVM based systems. I moved to Clojure for prototyping tasks, other developers w

Could that be the basis for an IP based startup? Seems like a clever hack of the patent & legal system surrounding patents. Of course once there is 1 of these, there will be copycats - which could lead to a race to capture the largest

Feynman diagrams are the only thing that comes to mind - mathematicians and physicists still use a code-like notation to describe concepts. Are there any examples from those areas to use as a guide?

Thanks! You're correct, you can set it up for free but you can't maintain it indefinitely for free. I think you only need the $1/mo if you reserve an actual phone number, if you stick w/the sandbox I think it stays as $0.01/min until you d

I don't think FP is all about concurrency - it's about more than that. In my experience it reduces the possible bugs in code (type inference / checking, referential transparency) - these aspects make concurrency easier to achieve, but that

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. I had thought of putting an ad in the email, or even adding one to the bottom of the image itself - though I felt like that would be too intrusive and decided against it (adding to the image itself). Tha

I hadn't considered an API - what do you have in mind? An HTTP post & response? What would you use it for? I just hadn't thought of this since the graphics libraries and routines are readily available. An API seems to cut out any po
