I'm not so sure. I wish it were as you say but there are currently 5600 job postings mentioning Scala on LinkedIn in the USA, vs 82 that mention Clojure. 82! In the entire USA. So …

What about Avro then?

It's interesting you call relationships on Reddit para-social, I don't know if that quite fits the word because Reddit is more of a two-way reciprocal relationship between commente…

Consistently interesting content coming out of Pragmatic Bookshelf publishers these days. Recently, I have particularly enjoyed the Ray Tracer Challenge ( https://pragprog.com/titl…

Thank you so much for this, it's great work!

Unfortunately even if you only cared about plants, you would still be better off on a vegan diet because animal agriculture requires order(s) of magnitude more plants to be cultiva…

The food chain is an abstraction that describes the natural world, not a moral agent any more than the water cycle is. Wild animals predate in the wild, yes, but they aren't moral …

I have to point out the obvious, that this chart doesn't pass the smell test and must have done something really wrong to conclude that in 2021, JS and Python power less websites t…

Really dislike the "written in Rust" suffix all the time...

Why wouldn't companies raise their prices to match demand in the long term?

Would there not be a risk that you may get something working nicely in openjdk and then you go to do a native compilation, and it turns out that it doesn't work due to some new met…

I explored this briefly but it ended up taking about 25 seconds to compile hello-world in Clojure. That struck me as causing a lot of pain to develop for. That, combined with how y…

What do you mean by democratic? Are you thinking of some kind of election system to replace mods, and if so have you seen such a mechanism work anywhere else on forums?

Sorry, to be more precise, I'm seeing in total roughly: - 6.8% old reddit - 5.8% mobile web - 72% new reddit - 15.6% reddit apps

I think it's a common misconception that old.reddit.com is still extremely popular. As a mod of a medium-large sub which should skew highly towards old.reddit.com (developer-focuss…

Have you considered rabbitmq or nats?

>Exactly, and all you need is Any If you're using Any, then your program is (at least in part) dynamically typed. I don't think it's fair to say "look! Static typing is better than…

An other Ray Tracing book I've really been enjoying recently is the Ray Tracer Challenge by Jamis Buck https://pragprog.com/titles/jbtracer/the-ray-tracer-challeng...

That's true! But now we'll get into what is possible vs what is idiomatic, common, and supported by the language/stdlib/tooling/libraries/community. If I remember correctly, Rich H…

I've seen this article and I applaud it for addressing the issue thoroughly but I still am not convinced that static typing as we know it is as flexible and generic as dynamic typi…

Not who you are responding to, but the common idea that static types are all win and no cost has become very popular these days, but isn't true, it's just that the benefits of stat…

Yes I agree there is a problem of a lack of institutional funding in the Clojure world. Luminus is a great tool but it is a bit sad that it is arguably the most production-ready we…

That's right. You typically would have your text editor/ide open, and the process you're developing would expose a repl port which your editor can connect to. As you edit the sourc…

There is the widely used Luminus framework https://luminusweb.com/

Thanks for that great series! It reminded me a lot of this demo for O'Doyle Rules, a Clojure rules engine library, wherein the author demos a dungeon crawler style video game writt…
