I wish there was a haskell-without-the-warts language with the same culture as Elixir - developer friendliness, practicality etc. As it stands I can't help but feel discouraged when learning Haskell. Haskell feels like a research tool

Just my 2c: Paradigm wise: Yes functional programming can seem strange and hard if you haven't done it before. But that really isn't the fault of Elm, elm makes FP as simple as it can. Language wise: Yes, the Elm architecture take

The reason I personally haven't looked at Scala (or Scala.js) is the OOP + FP approach. <personal understanding> Scala seems to want to please everyone, having all the tools at hand - Immutable and Mutable collections, Objects an

From what I understand Elm is planned to target Node eventually. However the language is pretty young right now and the main work is going into making client side Elm the best it can be. The language author doesn't want to branch out t

I've gotten into elm recently coming from Clojurescript and reagent (re-frame to be exact). I didn't think I needed types, until I tried Elm, now I am seriously having an identity crisis.. All my backend Python code is also riddle

Ah now I see. Although I understand that there are some tools that do this, it is not a trivial process like in many other languages. Thanks for enlightening me.

Regarding the curly brackets thing vs. end statements and indentation: How is this a problem with editors/IDEs doing it all for you? If your editor/IDE does not do this, then.. why don't you have this in your setup?

I work for a international company, mainly based in the US. I get paid what a local developer gets paid, our chinese employees get paid what the local norm is there etc. Do other companies just outright decide salary based on where the comp

I second this. I used to distro jump a lot before I realized that not a whole lot is actually changing from distro to distro. I was basically chasing the default setup of a distro, which has no real point. I wouldn't go as far as to sa

Regarding DataTau I built a small front page analyzer and have some graphs up. It runs every 3 hours and looks at some aspects of both HackerNews and DataTau and compares the two. It's still very much a work in progress. At one point I

Maybe it's just my 4gigs of RAM speaking, but Cursive is sluggish and heavy. I have Emacs running in a drop down terminal, that I can hide and show fast, I can run many languages simultaneously (Python and Clojure for me), I can quickl

Absolutely. The quality of other's solutions and the more Clojure centric atmosphere are pluses compared to for ex. HackerRank. The reason why I personally chose HackerRank over 4clojure was the Ranking/Badge/Percentile centr

This is an excellent tutorial, kudos to the author! As an additional supplement for beginners I'd also suggest solving some coding challenges in Clojure on pages like HackerRank. It's addictive fun and supplies cool problems to so

I second this. Although I myself use Emacs and am very happy with it, Cursive allows focusing on Clojure and not on the setup. Though once some level of skill has been achieved, I'd recommend Emacs. :)

I own a Acer c720p Chromebook and I have to say it is a wonderful machine. I now only use my main PC for programming, and I even do that sometimes by SSH from my chromebook. Main point: * Great battery life * Lightning fast * Small/Thi
