Even in companies of size of Google most devs nowadays rarely deal with SVN directly, they use git->svn bridges. So yeah, Git is a de-facto standard. And it's not for the sake of Github.

JSX in 201x is like new XML of 200's. I've seen webpack.configs written in JSX. WTF is wrong with people?

Yup, I'm reading this and thinking "oh my, Clojurescript is SOOOOO much nicer" than jsx and dom js api and whatever becomes "trendy" tomorrow.

Good that most of us don't have that attitude - otherwise would be still patching and perforating punch cards. Angular 1.x made sense in 2009. If your job is to cut down trees and you still ins…

That's why I like Clojure(script). It does not fight the language and the ecosystem. It's "hosted" - meaning that like a symbiotic organism it "latches" onto the host lan…

You're wrong about Clojurescript. It's the most pragmatic and efficient language today that compile into JS. And it's definitely steadily growing.

No. I think Clojure and Elixir slowly "killing" Ruby.

Clojure. I guarantee - you're gonna like it.

Awesome!

I'm a diehard Vim fan. I use Vi-motion keybindings everywhere. System-wide. In every single tool I use. I don't ever touch arrow keys. I don't need to. I rarely have to use touchpad. It…

Btw. do you guys know that MSFT building next version of Skype with React Native? Mindblowing, innit?

For a moment I thought it's about git and cherry-picking.

This is really awesome news!

JIRA. OMG. It's really awful. Its UI is cluttered and inconsistent. Search is slow. It's impossible to find things. Markup syntax is horrendous. It's easy to make mistakes and extremely…

I've tried so many ways to take notes and keep a personal journal. And nothing comes even close (in terms of simplicity and effectiveness) to what I have today with Emacs's org-mode.

If you do Clojure - Emacs/Spacemacs with CIDER - beyond comparison

Every front-end engineer knows - React is a library and not a framework. From my own experience one of the best ways to see where React shines is to try out one of Clojurescript libraries, and there a…

It is really awesome to see Clojurescript transforming from "oh, look how awesome this language is" to "oh, look what I've built with Clojurescript". The language, the toolin…

To be honest I kinda hate Anders Hejlsberg. If it wasn't him I wouldn't have gotten myself into Turbo Pascal and later Delphi and later into C#. I would've probably looked into C and Li…

There's maybe just too much stuff required in user namespace? We were able to address many problems including this one when we switched to boot-clj

Most people I know who actually tried Clojurescript like it and would like to stay within its proper. Why don't you try it? I myself after trying Coffeescript, Typescript, Livescript, Gorillascri…

Instant feedback? You ever heard about Figwheel? Watch the video and now imagine that it also works with mobile platforms.

The problem with Javascript is that it enables you many ways to screw up. Unless you already know how not to screw up, If you are a good functional programmer, like Brian Lonsdorf aka DrBoolean, then …

I agree - Clojurescript is extremely pragmatic, yet quite functional. Tooling is extremely nice, FFI to existing Javascript simple, can be used on both back-end and front-end.

Clojure has something that arguably better than most static type systems, it has Clojure.spec

So what? Everything has a suffix in js-land.

Yeah, I feel sad every time I have to watch those experts, trying to do basic stuff like navigating to a file or open a file during their presentations. Using their sophisticated IDEs with nice, "…

What do you mean how? Clojurescript compiler today has four different, well documented options related to source maps: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Co…

Two words: E Macs

That's like 2 years ago. Source maps work fairly well today.
