How so? You work with Clojure or CL?

Experience is just data. So one day when you go to Everest hiring a sherpa might not be needed. Why? Because a simulator can be created, based on his knowledge and all the other kn…

I think this is pretty amazing - in my own country we have a town - Dimitrovgrad - built completely from scratch and only after that populated.

For me it is anything that helps me not fix on the problem. Standing in front of the computer, staring at the code always pushes me in the same direction; once I am up to something…

Parenthesis in Lisp are not more than those in C. It's just that there is only one type of parenthesis and the accepted convention is to pile all the closing ones at the last line.…

This is purely based on numbers, but still might be a little subjective. Nevertheless here it is: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=1E5AA35A965D3234%2...

Actually the OP uses Clojure in his project.

In OOP everything happens somewhere else because there's always another layer of indirection, and so the code that should change the variable isn't in the function (or file) that y…

As long as there is some sort of logic tests can be written. The question is can we prevent writing tests at all by designing better our applications and by taking advantage of FP …

Well, to be honest I didn't. I just started dedicating my time and efforts only for a few select people that are worth it. Otherwise social interaction can be too tiring and even l…

You don't need to mock it. In your tests just manually call the code that is going to be executed if the I/O call returns an error. This goes for both OOP and FP.

I/O is someone else's code, not yours. So it's someone else's responsibility to test it. You should just test the arguments that you pass (in case they are generated) and trust tha…

In the previous post I started with in theory . What this means is that theoretically things can go like this and in practice they have gone for me until now (with Clojure, so +1 f…

You should be testing your own code and not catching exceptions. I/O will either return an error or the string you need. There is no third option. So put aside the I/O - concentrat…

+1 for Clojure. I suppose you will be migrating to Haskell because it is a PF language. What would you miss most from Clojure once you migrate?

With the .NET Framework actually declining, Swift still being far away from the server and frameworks like Meteor, JS seems to have a really good position. With that said I will ro…

If you ask me, no chance to rule the web. JavaScript has been the standard for a very long time now. Because JS is not a flawless language dozens of js precompilers have been creat…

Mocks, stubs, shims, etc. are usually just hiding the fact that the code to be tested is terrible, even in OOP languages. Furthermore side effects have nothing to do with testing o…

What I actually meant is that people are usually not up for the challenge at all. That being said I have found a few people that may be ready to walk with me. Since I am very grate…

What struck me the most in your comment is the fact that people just disappear. It's the same with me. If I don't call the other person won't either. If I call he/she is busy, on v…
