If you look at redplanetlabs github repo, there's a ton of low level manipulation of 'JVM bytecode assembly language', e.g. https://github.com/redplanetlabs/defexception/blob/maste…

The founder has released successful large projects in the past, e.g. Apache Storm used by Alibaba, Yahoo, Twitter, etc. Probably just need to wait a bit longer.

You can write 'type signatures' easily in clojure code, there's dozens of options, they're just only checked at runtime (and usually relegated to developer builds). if you combine …

I've been using the beta every single day. I run a NixOS VM on my Macbook Pro, its transformed the way I develop. Checkout Hashicorp founder's NixOS setup here https://github.com/m…

kind of reminded me of this post https://twitter.com/marius/status/1590056610625650688?s=20&t... agile is for people who prefer 'classical music' working style, but want to simulat…

probably, but thunderbolt would cost 5x less for equivalent 40Gbps NIC

I like Salvia the most (not for the faint hearted) partly because of how unusual/odd experience it is it doesn't imprint me a bunch of spiritual beliefs afterwards. I feel like I l…

Isn't tesla's competitive advantage that they don't buy their batteries from the current supply chains? Even the total world's supply of lithium ion batteries wouldn't be enough to…

Yes, I think those are all valid points/weaknesses. While I don't personal struggle with understanding the internals of git or om.next the learning curve is no joke. The community …

Om.next shows it's strength when you're working on a complex application 5k+ lines of code. A core abstractions of om.next (and graphQL) is to express data dependencies of your rea…

we're using untangled framework in production, I can't say enough good things about it.

I hadn't heard of VoltDB until now, but have been following jepsen for a while. I wish more project did what you did. Congrats on the increased reliability.

I love Spacemacs, I'm a total convert I barely ever use vim now -- best of both worlds.

"My hypothesis is that I procrastinate on those things that I was naturally good at during childhood" Yup exactly, because there's an intense emotional connection to those activiti…

I believe this would qualify as a Java library https://github.com/peter-lawrey/Java-Chronicle "This library also supports distributed, durable, observable collections (Map, List, S…

If you have a passion for something, you'll want to spend every waking hour on it. I miss the days of childhood though where I could build what I want on a whim, at large companies…

Note to self: when you see the rocket crash with your eyes, count to 5 seconds then cover your ears.

Cool, this can be done in any language with typing. For languages with dynamic typing, you would just check the type at runtime.

I think this is particularly true if you want to ever become CEO or VP of a much larger company. How else do you prove you're fit to lead a company or division except by a start-up…

I for one am glad you're nailing the editor part first. Because if this is ever to replace my usage of emacs, you have to at least get that part right. This hasn't yet replaced my …

I don't understand either. Let history decide, we use Clojure & Java for server-side stuff it saves us countless hours/problems.

Go can't do immutable updates efficiently (yet) because it doesn't have a persistent data structure implementation for vectors, maps, sets, etc.
