In reality this almost never happens. Besides - it is so lightweight - killing a session and starting a new one takes seconds.

Let me try to explain what so awesome about this project and why I have chosen it instead of other, more popular WMs. The function of a window manager like managing windows to me is kind of secondary …

I can easily speculate that not for the same reasons. F# and Clojure are the most payed languages because today they are the most used FP languages in fintech sector.

> Clojure's life time was limited from day one Clojure is a Lisp. When the evidence and pragmatism of static type systems become scientifically proven facts I'm sure someone will figure o…

> You have to mold yourself to the market F# and Clojure are notably ranked as the highest paid languages for the past 2-3 years in a row. Trust me - market is shifting towards FP and Clojure one …

Every time something Clojure related appears in HN top - there are a bunch of comments criticizing the language and most of them are so unfounded. You'd start reading and even before finishing a …

Extremely nice, very detailed article. Reads like a paper not a blogpost - obviously this is work that took days and maybe even weeks. Where does Alex Miller find time for doing that I have no idea - …

Have you tried Clojure. Elixir borrows many ideas from Clojure. Author of Elixir himself stated that numerous times.

I have used Ruby, Python and Node. Built Angular and React apps using Typescript, Coffeescript, Babel. I haven't tried Elixir, but I tried Clojure. It took me sometime to learn the ways of Clojur…

Looks pretty cool. I wish people stopped dismissing Clojure because for uninitiated it looks "weird". It is an amazing language.

You have any idea how long does it take to fine-tune a piano? How difficult and expensive is to adjust a Formula 1 bolid for a specific track? How long does it take to train a service dog? Just becaus…

To drive parallels with programming - once you develop muscle memory you can become very efficient at coding. Thinking required only at the time of learning. Yes, learning Vim/Emacs is hard. But …

Every single time I see a similar article on Javascript, I feel so lucky for being able to use Clojurescript instead. Seriously - Javascript platform is great. The language itself? Not so nice. Clojur…

It's a known fact that it's possible to build and maintain serious projects having only a few Clojure developers. And either because of that or for some other reason, it's been decided…

Working from paycheck to paycheck you don't earn 3 times as much and you don't save. Most of my friends who live here can't afford to buy a house, they rent. Almost all my friends who l…

Everyone excited about SF Bay salaries - please don't forget how expensive is to live here. My rent is $3K/m (half of my net salary) and that's considered "a decent rate" for …

I met many developers at StrangeLoop that looked to be in their 50s and 60s. And they live in the area. What makes St. Louis so special that older software engineers choose to live there?

Clojure. Clojure is extremely data oriented.

You left it too soon. Clojure.spec brings much more than most of the other type systems could deliver.

There is Clojureverse

What so suspicious about it? People get old, people retire, people die.

Clojurescript. Everything else is just too painful to use.

I've been looking for perfect solution for over 15 years. Finally found it. Emacs's Org-mode. Nothing else truly beats its simplicity, versatility and robustness for note taking.

Kotlin is a language that was created simply to lock you in using Jetbrains products. If you like JVM - Clojure is a perfect fit.

you're wrong - Spacemacs offers very nice tools for structural editing out of the box and including clever-parens layer. You can also use Parinfer or Lispy. You can customize things to your likin…

I wonder what this means for Clojure and Clojurescript developers

Magit combined with Magithub already offers much of what's described in the article and there's a lot on the roadmap. Jonas and Sean are doing mindblowing, amazing work in these projects. I&…

I hate Confluence. It's a worst piece of software imaginable. Their wysiwyg editor is not just total crap, it feels like its intended purpose is to make you mad by irritating you inexplicably. It…

How's that different from generative, property based testing?
