Convenience is very subjective. I have used Resharper and Visual Studio although not for C++ but for C#. I still remember how it used to take me a solid hour just to install VS. And then Resharper - s…

Mr. Stallman, I'd like to invite you to San Francisco for an adventurous quest in search of paid toilets, or any kind of restrooms in this case - paid our whatever. You can even wear flowers in …

Windows is still not very developer friendly. Devs like to use their command line tools: bash, zsh, tmux, git, etc. They like their Vim and Emacs configs, not everyone uses Visual Studio monstrosity. …

Vim and Emacs not in the list. Trololo...

Erm... Netscape->Mozilla?

Clojure ain't a niche language anymore. It is steadily growing. I quit my very well paid job and to my own surprise I found a Clojure job a day after. Anyone who complains that it's impossib…

au contraire - many find Clojure code extremely readable (even compared to other Lisps). It's possible to write some obscure functions in any language, developing good taste and habits to write n…

There are plenty. https://github.com/magomimmo/modern-cljs Is a good one. You probably need to read one of the books on Clojure. I wouldn't recommend starting with "Joy…

I've tried different JavaScript frameworks. I've seen Backbone, Angular, Knockout, Rx.js, React, Redux, MobX, Rails, Asp.net, Meteor and Django, I've tried almost every popular option t…

Elm is still somewhat "experimental" and the popular opinion is that Elm is nothing but a paved road to Purescript - which in turn has it's own steep learning curve. Also FFI to Javascr…

if you're Emacs user there's "org-pomodoro". It automatically logs time spent on pomodoros for specific tasks.

I think Python gained its popularity when Google started using it. When one of the big companies - Google, MSFT, Apple, Amazon start using Clojure for their big projects - I believe it will become ext…

for the sake of Crockford's dog's balls, stop using Bower.

Stop writing JavaScript - Clojurescript is totally mind blowing awesome.

Vim. learn Vim motions and then switch to Spacemacs. You will "own" the code.

We need more articles like that. Thank you. It makes me sad when people turn down Clojurescript because of prejudice against parentheses. This wonderful language amazes me every single day. I don'…

I would disagree. Clojure is not difficult to grok (compared to other languages with strong functional emphasis).

I heard that Rich Hickey chose Clojure because it has both `CLR` and `J` - initially he thought Clojure will be adopted in both - .Net CLR and JVM

Clojure/Clojurescript

Jeez. Watching this I felt really good for abandoning c# long time ago. no regrets whatsoever.

Yes, we are paid to write code. The final goal is to create a product, and solve problems, yes. However, as a coder you should think about the code, you have to breath the code, you need to feel the c…

I've been writing in Clojurescript. To be honest - every time I see a new discussion thread about something new in Javascript-land I can't stop thinking that Clojure and Clojurescript are al…

As I noted in my comment: Clojure and Clojurescript now have a far superior instrument than static types, it has `Clojure.spec`

Elm is great and Purescript even better. I haven't though heard anyone building apps using Elm on both back-end and front-end. I have enourmous respect for Anders Hejlsberg and his work but Types…

Oh, I just got refunded. Thanks!

Very cool of you guys offering such a big discount. Tried to sign-up, saw the banner (about the discount), chose lifetime subscription (even without trying) but my card still was charged $149.99. ;( I…

It's awesome to see the blogosphere's landscape finally changing from "Oh, look how awesome Clojure is" to "Here's the thing I build with Clojure(script), I think it'…

Orgzly on Android

Do you mean decision of becoming Clojure-centric? That was probably the best thing that could happen. Can't say about UK but in the US office we are interviewing for engineering positions almost …

I've used many proprietary IDEs and editors and at some point I realized - it's a myth and it's a lie. A golden cage. This argument is like iPhone vs Android. "But iPhone just work…
