Hehe, at least someone is talking about it. Online privacy is a dream in the 2010s

Awesome!

I didn't know malli, thank you Borkdude!

Spec is very useful, but please implement it without macros. Metosin did a great job to make it more usable, but we still struggle because specs could only exist in Namespaces. We want to use spec as EDN with pure functions. (+ recursive specs would be awesome)

Clojure is a different language. Being "fully compatible" with (more similar to) Java was never a goal.

vim is still the best text editor, our whole family uses it for daily work

Nicely done

I am really interested in the beta and also would like to help somehow: bobo.linux \@ \g\m\a\i\l\.\c\o\m

Yup, Svelte is hot and Postgres is always a good decision! Thank you for the details, really interesting project!

Once I built a CSS based browser MMO myself as a challenge. I used Clojurescript and React on the front end and Clojure with a simple in memory key-value storage. My solution was basically a turn based architecture, but many turns happened in a sec, so it was semi-realtime.

CSS means I didnt use webgl, just pseudo 3D with divs and transforms. Field of view was small, but playable. :D

Awesome work! What is your technology stack now?

Basically you says if a type system is optional, people tend not to use it, because most of the times they are good without it.

I agree.

But we do use spec very successfully for complex data structure validations and example data generation.

Clojure's startup time is very slow compared to other languages, but we balance it with fully reloadable systems both on the backend or frontend.

Otherwise the speed is almost identical to the speed of native Java and native Javascript. Except when you experience the power of lazy structures, then Clojure is faster than native code.

A great example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18776215

Clojure has something like an extendable type system called Spec. We can create our own types lol

yes, immutable data is a core value of Clojure.

OP said no wrong, but think about it: Bitcoin also just stole the good parts from other software projects.

Really practical inventions usually gather the best ideas from a field.

looks like you don't know FP

pure functions are completely separate to every other parts of your software, they are very readable and easy to debug

* edit: don't write functions longer than a few lines

I agree!

When I meet a girl, I ask her about macros and functions first.

I except to hear something like: macro < function < data.

As an eastern european, I see the case a bit different. Corrupt governments and cheating locals were always able to "hack" voting. I would rather trust a blockchain based -fully transparent and real-time- voting system than the actual one.

HN creator Paul Graham was really into Lisp. HN has been built with his own Lisp, Arc. HN attracted many experienced programmers and experienced programmers usually like Lisp, because Lisp dialects are simple, elegant and powerful.

https://youtu.be/HM1Zb3xmvMc is a song about Lisp

Lisp is the red pill to programming. A mind-blowing out-of-the-box experience. An alien technology. -- Lisp has a so called "no turning back point", true lispers cannot bear other dialects after experiencing it. From scientists in underground military bases to rich tech VCs: everyone obeys Lisp here..

I am

I had a beautiful beginning with a lisp like programming language when I was 8 or something. Every other languages have been disappointments until I found Clojure a few years ago. I hope you will get it some day.

Clojure is great for fast prototyping I usually start with Boot + System https://github.com/danielsz/system and the holy grail: https://github.com/danielsz/system#the-holy-grail It is a full-stack template with hot-reloading on both sides.

Clojure: Come for the hair of Rich Hickey, Stay for the insanely productive alien technology

Best game ad I have seen for a while

Pretty cool

I sleep well since i use Clojure
