Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I was referring to the maps that are being destructured.

by rads 2mo ago
The maps are still open to new keys even if some keys are checked. I think that fits in with how clojure.spec and Malli work already, but in a lighter syntax.

I'm skeptical because I don't think generating the Clojure code is the hard part. These ideas seem more like wishful thinking than actual productivity improvements with the current state of tech. Developer guided: For the projects

I use the REPL as lightweight form of testing while I'm in the flow state, which is complementary to TDD. If there's too much code in the comment block, that's a good signal to move it into a formal test like you're sayi

There is often a misunderstanding that “REPL driven development” means typing things into the REPL prompt interactively and accumulating state that’s not easy to reproduce. Writing code down in comment blocks as you go is the solution to th

You might see this and think, "great, another hyped up vibe coding tool". If Clojure is about simplicity and understanding your code deeply (with the end goals of long-term maintenance and reliability), why would you need this? Wh

Such a low quality article. The whole comment thread is just going to be about the flamebait of "I bet Rich was just really bored". Instead, the author could have listed the reasons they actually "loved it, and by the end I h

I'm curious, how did you form this opinion? Did you have a bad experience with Clojure yourself?

From my experience, GPT-4 works well with both Clojure and Zig. A lot of it depends on the way you prompt though. For example, asking to start with a C or C++ example and converting to Zig often works better than starting straight with Zig.

Check out Babashka. It's a single binary that runs Clojure without a JVM. It also starts up really fast and has a much lower base memory requirement: https://github.com/babashka/babashka It's pretty easy to s

I think the writing style is too fluffy, but I realize some people like that. The true sin of this book is that it actually starts by teaching the reader Emacs , not Clojure. That's a huge distraction for a beginner who is probably co

The key thing is experienced Clojure programmers often see a lack of ORM as a feature rather than an oversight. There were some more ORM-like libraries years ago (see Korma) but my impression is that people ultimately didn't want this

It's a tradeoff. The startup time of Clojure on the JVM is slower than most, but the runtime is faster than most. It also needs a lot of memory to get going. This means it's optimized toward long-running programs like web servers.

In practice I do wrap `jdbc/execute!` with my own `execute!` function to set some default options. However, there is no ORM layer. What makes you think the code above is terribly unproductive? Edit: Not trying to dismiss your concerns,

Hmm, maybe we could come up with a standard syntax? We could call it “Standard-expressions”, or perhaps “S-expressions”? That way an entire family of languages could use the same syntax. Now how do we get people to follow this standard?

Hooks encapsulate mutable state. It’s not much different than object-oriented programming with a different syntax.

When I read the title I was wondering if this was a new project. It's actually a continuation of the Datomish project. I'm glad they changed the name, though.
