What do you know about "initial expectations" of Typed Clojure specifically? I for one have worked with Ambrose on the same team, he's a good friend of mine and we discussed his dissert…
comment
Let's see. > JVM bytecodes for dynamic languages You're talkiing about invokedynamic - bytecode instruction added in Java 7, specifically to make dynamic language dispatch efficient, righ…
comment
YES! I almost forgot about that. What I love about gptel that I can send a request to an LLM from virtually anywhere - any buffer, even minibuffer. Sometimes I "talk" to AI while typing a me…
comment
> I never once felt that any AI integration in IDE's was actually worth using over a cli That's right. I started with Claude in the CLI. But then I found a way to hook it up to my active,…
comment
Does it really matter if AI was used? Is the article substantial? Does it tell a story? Is the narrative engaging? Is it factually accurate? I get that LLMs are still capable of generating slop of non…

Install ECA. Read my comment in the same thread. Once you hook up elisp evaluating MCP to your Emacs - it is game over for anything else. Nothing even comes close to the experience. I've been fun…
comment
Reading comments I feel you guys (Emacs users) have NO idea. I made a tiny MCP in babashka (I could've done it in Go, Rust or literally any other language, but chose Clojure). So what the MCP doe…
comment
> I think they even haven't adopted newer JVM features You don't know what you're talking about. Not only Clojure steadily adopting newer JVM features (for when that makes sense) - j…
comment
> Is Typed.Clojure finally stable and sound? It feels like as if you're operating with a few keywords you picked up without fully understanding the meaning of them. Typed Clojure was a PhD res…
comment
> That is because Clojure is done First of all: Clojure is not "done". Latest commits were 3 months ago - https://github.com/clojure/clojure . Secondly, the language …
comment
One doesn't need to dance around weird circles to give it a try. VSCode's Calva extension has great "Quickstart guide". Or you can just install Clojure, run it - it drops you into …

Rich Hickey did in "Simple made easy" talk.
comment
I don't disagree with the general notion of your sentiment. I just wish there was less dragging Stallman's dick behavior into the mix of Emacs-related discourse. Which doesn't happen a …
comment
Please don't do this. "editors outlive their creators' reputations/departures" - is a reasonable point. But to make it land as a zinger, you decided to dig up some
most infla…
comment
> with its built-in REPL facility brotha... please.. you're making me laugh so hard, my parentheses are shaking and getting unbalanced. Non-lispy langs that "provide REPL facilities"…
comment
If you compare every single language Clojure can emit - Clojure&Java, Clojurescript&Javascript, babashka&Bash, Clojure-Dart&Dart, Jank&C++, Fennel&Lua (even though technically …
comment
> vastly simpler syntax I've been programming for decades. I've used dozens of different, at times enormously esoteric languages. At one point I built ERPs in a language where operators w…

I misspoke. I meant of course to say "Claude's logo"
comment
The Anthropic logo is just Kurt Vonnegut’s drawing of an asshole: https://scienceleadership.org/thumbnail/34729/1920x1920 Just in case if someone still didn't realize -…

> wait for the dust to settle. Yeah, everyone is in panic mode - "they're killing all the horses", but one really needs to consider the similar historical events. When ATMs were roll…

I want to watch the presentation, is there a recording, does anyone know? When the Overview slide starts with "Don’t do overview slides, it’s bad practice", I feel like I'm missing quit…
comment
> 100x more devs understand though Things programmers believe. It's interesting how some knowledge fundamentally assumed by default. For whatever reasons, the notion is widespread. You're…
comment
Cljs setup for this case probably would require a bit of scaffolding. While using https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint perhaps would be pretty straightforward. Albeit you'…
comment
It's not about "having" or "not having" keys for specific actions, it's all about freedom and feeling of control. When you take and apply the idea of modality, you quickl…
comment
So, the trivia behind the name is interesting. It all starts with a project called "Mjolnir" (Thor's Hammer). The original idea was for a lightweight automation engine with pluggable ar…

And texmacs.org - seems nothing to do with Org-mode either. How dare they? :)

hon, this has been "happening" at the time when I grew out of my jquery pants, and still was happening when I was going to my backbone.js induced ptsd therapy sessions; Angular has shipped 2…

Renaissance? Yup, checks out. I've been waiting for Web Components to become a thing for a loooong time. The (European) Renaissance took two-three centuries - from Petrarch and Giotto to Leonardo…
