What made you stop using Clojure? Lack of Clojure jobs? Or something else?
Job offer I couldn’t refuse that didn’t have Clojure. Now I work for a fully remote team, can work anywhere in the world, at any moment I want, leading the data / cloud team for a distributed timeseries database. Can’t complain. :) Clojure has had a huge, fundamental impact on my way of approaching software development. I actually came from a Haskell / C++ background, but the way Clojure treats data still has a funda…
I've never heard of manifold before and I'm curious what you prefer about it to core.async.
I've read through their website and README but I feel like I'm missing what separates it from other async libraries.
Can you explain a few examples where it shines compared to core.async?

apologies if i was blunt - readme sloppage is a particular annoyance of mine that is quickly becoming common. i'm not against vibecoding, far from it. but a readme is a part of a project that humans immediately touch - seeing it littered with em-dashes signals carelessness. i appreciate you taking my feedback with grace.
I would like to point out, again, that em dashes are very much used by humans that run macOS or iOS — like in this case.
Also Linux, where it's easy to configure a compose key to mnemonically type all the Unicode goodies you can think of.
Android's software keyboards generally make it easy, too.

How do you explain how more than half of that work was done in 2021? Or did you not look at the repo either? Even in 2023 AI could not really vibe code much of anything. Tell me about the AI coding tools available in 2021 though. It was all done with autocomplete?

I’m sure you have some impressive work from that era to share here as well.

Its ok that you have no knowledge or skill of software development. You don't have to keep creating new accounts to troll people with. Why not just go post on X?

#78There seems to be a surge in compile to Go projects recently. To me this signals that the runtime / stdlib of Go is one of the best out there (when going the GD'd route), but the surface level (syntax) is too simple/verbose and lacks the expressiveness developers want. So far Lisette ( http://lisette.run ) seems to be the best/most active version of a compile to Go language out there.
That does look pretty good. I don’t love the mixing of PascalCase / camelCase and snake_case, though.
Thats just a pragmatic design decision for Go interop, as Go went nuts with public being UpperCase.
Theres no camelCase tho? Snake case and PascalCase fir Go modules interrop.

I'll be happy is Lisette succeeds, but I like Soppo (https://github.com/halcyonnouveau/soppo) for staying closer to Go and not introducing this mismatch.
