I wish there was a haskell-without-the-warts language with the same culture as Elixir - developer friendliness, practicality etc. As it stands I can't help but feel discouraged whe…

Just my 2c: Paradigm wise: Yes functional programming can seem strange and hard if you haven't done it before. But that really isn't the fault of Elm, elm makes FP as simple as it …

The reason I personally haven't looked at Scala (or Scala.js) is the OOP + FP approach. Scala seems to want to please everyone, having all the tools at hand - Immutable and Mutable…

From what I understand Elm is planned to target Node eventually. However the language is pretty young right now and the main work is going into making client side Elm the best it c…

I've gotten into elm recently coming from Clojurescript and reagent (re-frame to be exact). I didn't think I needed types, until I tried Elm, now I am seriously having an identity …

Ah now I see. Although I understand that there are some tools that do this, it is not a trivial process like in many other languages. Thanks for enlightening me.

Regarding the curly brackets thing vs. end statements and indentation: How is this a problem with editors/IDEs doing it all for you? If your editor/IDE does not do this, then.. why…

I work for a international company, mainly based in the US. I get paid what a local developer gets paid, our chinese employees get paid what the local norm is there etc. Do other c…

I second this. I used to distro jump a lot before I realized that not a whole lot is actually changing from distro to distro. I was basically chasing the default setup of a distro,…

Regarding DataTau I built a small front page analyzer and have some graphs up. It runs every 3 hours and looks at some aspects of both HackerNews and DataTau and compares the two. …

Maybe it's just my 4gigs of RAM speaking, but Cursive is sluggish and heavy. I have Emacs running in a drop down terminal, that I can hide and show fast, I can run many languages s…

Absolutely. The quality of other's solutions and the more Clojure centric atmosphere are pluses compared to for ex. HackerRank. The reason why I personally chose HackerRank over 4c…

This is an excellent tutorial, kudos to the author! As an additional supplement for beginners I'd also suggest solving some coding challenges in Clojure on pages like HackerRank. I…

I second this. Although I myself use Emacs and am very happy with it, Cursive allows focusing on Clojure and not on the setup. Though once some level of skill has been achieved, I'…

I own a Acer c720p Chromebook and I have to say it is a wonderful machine. I now only use my main PC for programming, and I even do that sometimes by SSH from my chromebook. Main p…
