If you're interested in learning about them, those two links are going to do a better job of explaining what both Typed Clojure and Schema are that I am across a few comments. Wrt …

Clojure supports strong typing if you want it: https://github.com/Prismatic/schema https://github.com/clojure/core.typed These are both libraries that you can choose to use. Both T…

This is very cool. I'd pay $ (5ish) for a couple of other ways to use this: * a bookmarklet that allowed me to select text on my blog or on one of my github pages and analyze it * …

Philadelphia, PA (full time) Relay Network - http://www.relaynetwork.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- Relay is a simple and secure way for businesses an…

I lead a team of 4 at a company in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs. We'll be adding more members later this year and Clojure is our primary back-end language (we also use Ruby and lot…

I am talking about the cultures surrounding these languages and frameworks. Node's community rejects blocking libraries. Java's does not. I've used the non-blocking frameworks in P…

This. The biggest difference is in the two cultures: blocking is anathema to the Node.js community - they will literally reject libraries or code that blocks because it destroys th…

I think the article is a great explanation. I'm not sure I (exactly) agree with the conclusion "dynamic vars also breaks referential transparency" - isn't it the combination of lex…

One of the advantages I find in pair-programming is that the 'navigator' (the one who's not typing) will often catch this kind of thing as it is happening. "Hey, that's just a whil…

As nano-tech advances and replicators become more commonplace, hardware will face the same issues with patents and the seeming absurdity of patenting an 'obvious idea'.

I think it's 'too late' in the sense that Perl may have lost some developer share b/c people started looking elsewhere for direction - and Moose hasn't been strong enough a reason …

In the 1st you could say I snuck JScheme in under the radar when I first introduced it. For the 2nd I was actively recruited to the team. I personally believe that this was because…

I'm at my 3rd organization with Clojure, started in late 2008 (I think). In the first I had used Jscheme as an extension and scripting language for one of our JVM based systems. I …

Could that be the basis for an IP based startup? Seems like a clever hack of the patent & legal system surrounding patents. Of course once there is 1 of these, there will be copyca…

Feynman diagrams are the only thing that comes to mind - mathematicians and physicists still use a code-like notation to describe concepts. Are there any examples from those areas …

Looks like a recruiter's dashboard. :/

Thanks! You're correct, you can set it up for free but you can't maintain it indefinitely for free. I think you only need the $1/mo if you reserve an actual phone number, if you st…

Ah, lein-daemon - didn't know about that, thanks!
