My interpretation... the author is arguing against creating a new Domain Specific Language when you could just use the host language.

you prefer statically typed languages?

I like that the author points out that trying to write a new interpreter is not a good idea. However, to call that DDD, and then to say DDD is a lie is where I would disagree. I gu…

It's definitely not over. I got into it professionally in 2018, and have remained employed with it at three different companies. There's turmoil around it because startups use it w…

I'm not sure about that. Python was a good 20 years old when it became mainstream

I see what you mean. Well answered. I think there needs to be a fix for this... like make Clojure first class for bits/bytes levels of programming. :)

> [Clojure] is really optimized for [\snip] data centric stuff Not sure what this means. Stu Halloway made a comment to the effect of "all programming is ultimately data transforma…

Funnyduck99 is probably mocking all the people that go into HN posts about Clojure to complain about how their team of non-Clojure programmers went to work on a Clojure project and…

too easy and too fun. Also, to anyone interested in this problem, look for the Worse is Better paper

Interesting point. I've recently taken on a client who insists on using C# with their cloud solution. It's killing me. Though you're calling Clojure "advanced", what I'm missing is…

I used the Cider debugger with Clojure with some success, but as I got better at REPL-driven development I ultimately stopped firing up the debugger

What kind of differences/limitations are there when interpreting Clojurescript (nbb) as opposed to compiling it (shadow-cljs, lein, self-hosted?, other things?)?

I hope that you'll pay him. If you don't it will be an indication of lack of clues

I also choose to work for companies that use Clojure/Clojurescript. I'm not debating about languages that are better or not, but I get annoyed working in most others.

I've found this to be a non-issue in Clojure with specification validation. Some call this gradual typing

I'm not following, could you elaborate?

It can be indicative of the goodness of a language when you use it for 9 years and are still a huge fan. I'm in the same boat.

Yes, Clojure > Is it possible to build web apps in common lisp or any lisp? Any frameworks available? Clojure would be good because it has lots of users. Many web apps in productio…

I think I would find it great fun to take a Clojure codebase like this one that you inherited and refactor it to something workable and maintainable! I agree it's probably not a jo…

A good post on the Expression Problem, and the benefits of Clojure's solution to it: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2016/the-expression-problem-an... Also, I agree, it's interesting…

I've watched a number of Clojure centric talks from Nubank employees. Actually, I think it was one particular employee, but I don't remember his name. One was on how they do testin…

I get it. Also, the community is active in their Clojurians Slack channel #fulcro
