I think the misunderstanding is about iterators "not relying on concrete types". Rather, iterators are the concrete type. Consider the example transformation from the transducers p…

I can see some interest in Fil-C, but some will still be against it due to the overhead it imposes (1.5x-4x worse performance, less deterministic since there's a GC), as well as th…

This thread is related to it being bought, not its quality.

Joins can certainly work in a data format like YAML. For an example, see Honey SQL from the Clojure community [0] (though without something to contrast strings like Clojure's keywo…

That's true, but the argument being made was one where "packages" and "packages" was the point of contention. While they're not versions as in numbers, there's plenty of existing w…

To consider that the only option is rather reductionist. For example, simply add a version, and to use the original title instead of inventing one: > 99% of top Python packages are…

Are you proposing authentication over an insecure connection? If so, then the credentials could be compromised by a middle man. The same would be true for the signatures.

Clojure can fit quite well into Spring Boot-centric environments! I've added Clojure to several legacy Spring Boot apps, and the fact that it can be introduced as "just a library" …

I watched the talk last week, so perhaps my memory's a bit off, but "move fast and break things" was not the takeaway that I got. I thought of it more of "problems are going to hap…

This library doesn't wrap the AWS SDK, explicitly calls out existing Clojure wrappers that do in the README, and none of his commits seem to conflict with the referenced Tweet. Am …

The forEach isn't returning it in your example, the line after it is returning. Try again without acc and I believe that's what was meant. You can implement any of them in terms of…

Using your yardstick, ClojureCLR might look like the primary platform if you compare to Clojure proper: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/graphs/commit-activity

Ah, interesting! Thanks!

I've worked at plenty of places with free snacks/drinks (some even considered enterprise), but never a place that had ping pong tables or relaxation pods, so casually introducing t…

Immutable data structures were part of it, but not the whole story. From the article: "But Lisp had a bunch of things that needed to be fixed in my opinion. It was built on concret…

I don't know of any formal research, but in Clojure, where HAMTs are a fundamental part of the language, the philosophy is more oriented towards paying for things (such as thread s…
