    The gist of your point is 100% correct. I just want to point out that under the common law definition of assault (and i have no idea what definitions are in effect in SF), the fact…

    > Last I checked, doing cljs on Clojure Tools wasn't even possible. I'm not sure what this is referring to here. The "Getting Started" guide for ClojureScript uses deps.edn and the…

    have done this lots of times. (if (test) (then) (else)) (if true #_(test) (then) (else)) (if false #_(test) (then) (else)) makes it quite simple to leave the tests in. Also, quite …

    I would purchase today except there doesn't seem to be any screen options higher than 1080. I can't go back to 1080 after years of 4k monitors and mbp retina for work and x1 carbon…

    The article mentions that they rarely had elements, not that they were rarely used. They might have been tested for membership in lots of hot paths. There's no way to know. And I b…

    How can you use hooks right now? The standard is reagent which compiles down to classes which don't work with hooks. I think reagent has given a functional react and hooks style pr…

    I read that message to mean clojure/core.[library] and not clojure.core. It's a criticism of the slower development pace and low visibility that libraries like match, logic, combin…
