Very nice job, it'd be great if the links in the comments are actual links so we can navigate them.

They are playing dirty.

The beauty of Clojure/Lisp is that we have a nice macro system. Over the years, people created their own macros to simulate async/await. This is a powerful feature of Lisp, you don’t have to wait for an official release, you can just add that feature to the language yourself. Now we don’t have to use that custom macro anymore, which basically did the same thing.

People call him Scam Altman for a reason.

I’ve built many different kinds of software (backend, frontend, 3D games, cli tools, code editor, and more) with Clojure and have been using it for over a decade now.

I can confidently say that, among the list I mentioned, it’s the best for data manipulation/transformation. Thanks to the author for presenting it clearly and showing how the libraries and code look across different languages, all of which do a great job.

But Clojure has its own special place (maybe in my heart as well :). I think Clojure should be used more in the data science space. Thanks to the JVM, it can be very performant (I’m looking at you, Python).

It is enjoyable if you are working on boring/enterprise software; it is not enjoyable when you are working on your own things.

I just fucking love this guy.

That's why I'll only read source code written until 2024.

It’s the journey, not the destination, but with AI it’s only the destination, and it takes all the joy.
