> even though that's not difficult Turns out to be quite arduous: - You ask for reasonable support for both object-oriented and functional programming, this already contradicts with the notion…

Clojurescript. Because it works. Because it's not frustrating.

You don't work from home. You live in the office.

Watching this "drama" it feels to me like some kid in kindergarten said something like: "boys have penises and girls have vaginas, boys prefer toy soldiers and girls like playing with d…

Joy of Clojure arguably not very suited for beginners

I've been sarcastic of course. I'm one of those lucky bastards who's got luxury of writing Clojure(script) all day long and get paid for it.

But, but... Clojure is dying language. Someone been crying about that all over the internet just a few weeks ago. Why Google using a dying language?

Clojurescript is simple too. With many advantages over Lua

Every single time I tried that I end up leaving. Once I got offered a bump but it felt too little, too late.

I hope they'd finally make the search usable. Searching for things in Gitter godawful.

I spend most of my time working in OS X and I use Hammerspoon. It is really an awesome tool. It allowed me to establish truly keyboard-centric workflow. Not just for managing windows, a lot more. I al…

As a person not familiar with common lisp, I'm curious: why would somebody choose a CLISP instead of Clojure to target JVM?

Devs who use Vim and Emacs make more money than those who use IDEs

JIRA? It is sad that even in 2017 people still promote JIRA. There are better alternatives to that ugly, clunky, stupid piece of junk. Clubhouse is one example.

So why in US you can't buy anthelmintic drugs over the counter, without prescription. Or can you?

It's not emotional, no. After just a few months of using Lisps it feels like parentheses bring some structure and order. In non-lispy languages things feel "all over the places" - there…

Good question. I would also be interested in seeing some concurrency related benchmarks. Clojure excels on that field due to immutable data-structures. There's simply no point of talking about co…

Arguably Kotlin was actually created to address some deficiencies of Scala.

Visual Studio is a hosting environment for Resharper. And Resharper makes it awfully slow. IntelliJ compared to VS (even without Resharper) is like Emacs compared to IntelliJ.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Clojure allows you live interactive programming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt2zNemLCCk …

You ever heard about Datomic?

I'd love to start using that super power tool with interchangeable heads from Black+Decker, but damn - it takes long time to recharge the batteries. I would rather stick to my knife and hand scre…

Oh, btw. you can slip ipad, kindle, android tablet into a regular ziplock bag, zip it in and read it in the bathtub. Trust me - it's completely waterproof.

Nothing wrong with the world, you're getting old, that's it.

Functional programming is here already and even in OOP languages. What really matters though - is why we should be using languages like Clojure, Haskell, and Ocaml.

I thought people whose life is "centered around the work" don't usually have luxury of time to write quite lengthy blogposts of not work related stuff.

How does this compare with Chicken Scheme?

I wonder how these changes would affect Clojurescript libs built on top of React, e.g.: Om.Next and Reagent

If you're talking about programming - learn Lisp. Pick any. Clojure, Racket, LFE, Chicken, Guile or emacs-lisp, etc.. Understanding Lisp will make you a better programmer. I'm sure, even 50 …

Nothing about other languages transpiled/compiled to JavaScript? No Clojurescript, Elm or Purescript?
