I thought the same for a long time and it really discouraged me. My natural pitch recognition is pretty bad. What helped was starting with very simple melodies and songs, so I coul…

Every time I write another DTO → domain → DB mapping layer in Kotlin/TypeScript, I think about Clojure. I’m pretty grateful I learned it. It really changed how I think about softwa…

Picking up Clojure was the best learning experience I've had in my professional life. Rich is inspiring; I wish him all the best.

> but it gets in the way when you're rapidly prototyping and exploring. If you prototype a new features for an existing system, a test let you execute only the code you actually ne…

There is this book "Drive The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" which makes the same point, they also cite some studies about this.

As I understand, implicit joins are another selling point

I'm really greatful for clojure to exist. It exposed me to a lot of concepts and gave me a new perspective to think about problems, which in turn helped me to grow tremendously as …

Could you specify, what you mean by "refactor large codebases"? > compiler telling you if the pieces still fit together? You still write tests in scala do you?

> and because it is statically typed with a decent type system, you can refactor quite safely in general. I wish that would be true. Would make my current job a lot easier.

Are there any examples for 2 and 3 openly accessible? While I grasped the basic idea I lack the imagination how it would look in a real world system.

If I recall correctly: cisco threat grid is using core.logic

Thank you.

If I understand you correctly, this i a general problem of functional data structures? > Clojure will always be slow, because it's not cache friendly. You always have the option to…

The link is broken. Nevertheless I don't now much about the benchmarks but SBCL seems impressively fast.

You're absolutely right. I guess I mentioned pattern matching in particular because of the cited sentence from OP "I'm still waiting for pattern matching + algebraic data types". >…

Your are right! Thank you for correcting me.

For what its worth: People don't use dynamic language because they don't know better or never used a static language. To better understand what dynamic languages bring to the table…

I would really appreciate if someone takes the time to enlighten me how monads solve the problem.

Interesting take since Clojure and Java are two very different languages. And unlike for example Kotlin, Clojure does not try to be a better Java than Java. But true though Clojure…

Thank you and all contributern for your amazing work on clojurescript.
