It seems like a stretch to classify Julia as Object Oriented. It has types and record structures, but these aren't strongly coupled to functions like you'd see in most OO-style app…

Were any issues logged, or these problems otherwise addressed, in the ten+ months since this was posted? I wasn't able to find anything with some quick searches but hopefully other…

I believe the ability to configure this behavior is being tracked at the link below. It seems like it's a switch between consistency and availability. By default Kafka prefers avai…

Whether through Datomic or something else, it seems like some version of "database-as-a-value" (as described by Rich Hickey) is bound to happen. We're keeping immutable version his…

Yes, these are excellent, and goes into much more depth than the brief article I wrote.

Very kind of you to say! I came up with the metaphor when needing to explain this to a semi-technical person as well, so we've had similar needs there.

Using that cache is a good idea. The site linked to was used to gather the original content rather than broad consumption. (I wrote two of the chapters in this book, and this was w…

Sounds great. I'm glad to know something like that's in progress, and many thanks for your efforts on this project!

Understanding that core.async is new and evolving, but is there a reference or an idiomatic way to work with blocking operations, beyond the general advice of separate threads as a…

Ah, I didn't realize that core.typed could deal with rich data structures like that. That's actually pretty amazing.

A perhaps naive question: could this sort of thing tap into Clojure's type hints rather than using external annotations? So rather than writing the example in the post: (ann my-inc…

Not to mention the operational costs of a small navy to recover the rocket and transport it to a launch site.

Funny to see this here. That wiki was used to put together the contributions for the book, and the fact it wasn't planned as a high-volume site is pretty obvious right now. There a…

The desire for an open source app top-to-bottom or the need to use existing databases or tooling would be a good reason. (However, I do think this question is a bit of a red herrin…

I wish the post had gone into depth on _why_ Redshift was significantly faster, but I'm betting it uses in-memory joins whereas (hence the size limitations it mentions) whereas Hiv…
