I would buy that book in a heartbeat.

you might want to have a look at Joker ( https://joker-lang.org/ ) It's a Clojure dialect written in Go. Currently, its mostly used as a linter but you can also do programming/scri…

If I remember correctly, you showed some kindness towards Clojure (the language). May I ask, what made you reconsider?

Yes, Clojure can be quite different from other languages. For instance "loop" in Clojure is a bit different than in OO/imperative languages. Hence it will take some time and effort…

I think you're right, the book is not suitable for first time learners without any or much background in programming. This as lots of concepts are explained in passing. It quite fr…

I can confirm that. I did the same route. Afterwards I read the "Living Clojure" book and solved the Wonderland Katas ( https://github.com/gigasquid/wonderland-clojure-katas )

Actually Penrose has the idea/argument from Lucas, which has been written in 1959 and published in 1961 : https://www.jstor.org/stable/3749270

This is amazing: I have no idea how Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G character sneaked through my gate to ask Noam outrageous things like, "How many words does you know?" and "What is som…

ClojureScript is these days selfhosting. If you want to write and run small scripts you could give Planck a try (ClojureScript REPL). The startup time is much smaller. http://blog.…

I think it was because they ran into problems with NW (esp. freezes on OSX), but I'm not entirely sure if this was the main reason for switching to Atom/Electron. https://groups.go…

AFAIK Light Table has been embraced by the Julia community: http://junolab.org/about/

because "LISP can learn a lesson from all the languages that borrowed ideas from LISP. It is nature's way." from http://blog.samibadawi.com/2013/05/lisp-prolog-and-evolution...

Yes absolutely. But the question is why is this methodology still prevailed even though we are not constrained anymore by these limits?
