As I understand it:

We are not expanding. Size of e.g. a hydrogen atom is not changing.

Me too. Usually the bbc/guardian/telegraph all have the same stories, just with a different slant. BUT for Snowden leaks there is a black hole, with only the guardian covering it. (Though everyone covers personal gossip about Snowden, of course). Scary.

It is in the slides the article links to: http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jul/31/nsa...

Slide 16: "Show me all PGP usage in Iran"

The full quote is: "It’s also very easy to turn Common Lisp REPL code into unit tests, which I tend to do a lot. That is something that’s very hard to do with object-oriented code, which is why idiotic things like dependency injection and Test-Driven Development have to be invented. – Vladimir Sedach"

How does this compare to lisp, where you can break straight into editing code, inspecting variables, etc, and then continue? This seems to be something Clojure really lacks, but I never see it explicitly stated in 'why you should use Clojure' articles, nor in Clojure books. What I want to read is a sober 'pros and cons of using Clojure' article, so I can properly judge whether I should switch.

Wow, clojure in emacs after just a few commands (get emacs 24, then input the 2 or 3 commands for leiningen and emacs live).

Now I have repl, code highlighting (with the lambda symbol rather than 'lambda' !?!), parentheses matching etc.

Thanks Sam!
