Every time I write another DTO → domain → DB mapping layer in Kotlin/TypeScript, I think about Clojure. I’m pretty grateful I learned it. It really changed how I think about software. Still, it’s a trade: less ceremony, more responsibi

I'm really greatful for clojure to exist. It exposed me to a lot of concepts and gave me a new perspective to think about problems, which in turn helped me to grow tremendously as a developer. The emphasis to work directly with the dat

Could you specify, what you mean by "refactor large codebases"? > compiler telling you if the pieces still fit together? You still write tests in scala do you?

> and because it is statically typed with a decent type system, you can refactor quite safely in general. I wish that would be true. Would make my current job a lot easier.

Are there any examples for 2 and 3 openly accessible? While I grasped the basic idea I lack the imagination how it would look in a real world system.

If I understand you correctly, this i a general problem of functional data structures? > Clojure will always be slow, because it's not cache friendly. You always have the option to use the java data structures, for the cases this ki

The link is broken. Nevertheless I don't now much about the benchmarks but SBCL seems impressively fast.

You're absolutely right. I guess I mentioned pattern matching in particular because of the cited sentence from OP "I'm still waiting for pattern matching + algebraic data types". > The same is true for the rest of the

For what its worth: People don't use dynamic language because they don't know better or never used a static language. To better understand what dynamic languages bring to the table, here are some disadvantages of static types to c

I would really appreciate if someone takes the time to enlighten me how monads solve the problem.

Nice article. Sadly a lot of people won't even try clojure since it is dynamic typed. I see their point but nevertheless clojure does something really well here. As the author obserserves designing around some core data structures resu
