    I can understand your frustration about Rich's development process. But clojure is most definitely not closed source. The source is right here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure a…

    have you written your own 2/3 compatibility layer? I can't imagine writing anything large without six... fwiw, six can easily be vendored into a project to avoid the technical exte…

    Have you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? You might enjoy it. A thoughtful book (semi-autobiographical) about a man searching for meaning, thinking-through-it-all wh…

    No apology required. Though note that pykafka requires >=0.8.2 , and is only forwards compatible w/ newer brokers. This means that pykafka implements the 0.8.2 feature set. Newer b…
