Choose any LISP, and the right LISP will choose you.

tldr; they decided to sacrifice quality for quantity via outsourcing their programming, and find Python more suitable for this. Which it always has been, whether outsourcing to cheap "talent" overseas, or now a subscription servi

Not a day passes with my LLM of choice making completely baseless claims about "many people", who supposedly share all my problems and solve them like the LLM proposes

"Here is the X part", a commonly generated attention catcher these days, combined with an expert level fact, compacted into casual tone. Note it does not state opinion or reports subjective experience, which alltogether makes it a

Clojure is about its rigorous and pragmatic "immutability first" paradigm that you simply don't get from other PLs. LISP is much more than just a runtime syntax, such as its distinct evaluation model and metalinguistic core.

What you are describing is exactly a security implication.

Might be some personal beef, but I don't know really and don't care enough. He makes these authorative claims mixed with personal sentiment and then doesn't back them up. Here for instance the core team supposedly has "

Of course calling out baseless FUD is helpful. Otherwise it just discourages people from engaging with Clojure, which is not helpful.

There is no falling apart. This guy just tries to spread this narrative every two months or so, idky. Check out latest dev call https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngyvDkZA3o0

Indeed. Generated code is also harder to read because it violates all semantic expectations that rely on the mental model of a human author. A generated piece of code is linguistically plausible but often unknowingly imitates common idiom

They are just trying to peddle their "It's alive" headlines. Text generators mostly generate the text their are trained and asked to generate, and asking it to run a vending machine, having it write blog posts under fictional

Assuming that everybody disagreeing with such takes simply can't have tried the latest generator is quite telling. Consider, that maybe, I'm not as easily impressed?

My hammer is also solving problems. Still, hammering is not programming. LLMs are text generators.

You are comparing a PL to a text generator. What are you on?

Its generating an approximation of what it was trained on. Call it whatever you want, just not AGI or the road to AGI.

There is a newer version here https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sogomonian-aiip-archi... I don't understand what problem this is trying to solve though.

I tried this on a small Clojure codebase and asked it to write some tests. It couldn't get its parentheses balanced. After 10 attempts or so it tried to write a smaller test file first, but again failed. Regardless of the parentheses

To me, it was never about the hardware. It was not even about LISP. It is about "clean design" and what a great computing environment was capable of, and still would be, had its potential not been shredded by the advent of cheap

A transducer transforms a reducing function. Its signature is rfn->rfn. The resulting rfn can then be used to reduce/fold from any collection/stream type into any other collection/stream type. I don't see what your

Those are not fully featured web frameworks, I guess they were just labeled by AI for this website. They are libraries specialized on one thing. Most problems solved by frameworks don't exist in Clojure. Most problems introduced by f

If search was only about finding existing texts, LLMs would be qualitatively worse, as they frequently misquote or even invent non existing sources.
