The founder has released successful large projects in the past, e.g. Apache Storm used by Alibaba, Yahoo, Twitter, etc. Probably just need to wait a bit longer.

You can write 'type signatures' easily in clojure code, there's dozens of options, they're just only checked at runtime (and usually relegated to developer builds). if you combine that with good code coverage, it stops being a weakness and starts being a strength, because you declare data types with far more specificity & precision than a static type system.

As rich likes to say, the type signature of your stereotypical statically typed language, e.g. reverse :: [a] -> [a], doesn't have a much information content.

I write clojure, and still 'think in types' & category theory.

external display over HDMI works on mac mini & studio

probably, but thunderbolt would cost 5x less for equivalent 40Gbps NIC

I like Salvia the most (not for the faint hearted) partly because of how unusual/odd experience it is it doesn't imprint me a bunch of spiritual beliefs afterwards. I feel like I learn more about the mechanism of perception from it; albeit in an uncomfortable way.

Isn't tesla's competitive advantage that they don't buy their batteries from the current supply chains? Even the total world's supply of lithium ion batteries wouldn't be enough to provide for model 3 program.

Om.next shows it's strength when you're working on a complex application 5k+ lines of code. A core abstractions of om.next (and graphQL) is to express data dependencies of your react classes in a query language (e.g. component X depends on data title, author, created, updated), then the logic around how to fetch data, refresh data, cache data or access cached data, update data, deduplicate data when it's needed in many places, optimistically update client-side data and wait for server-side data to synchronize is all disentangled from the logic on rendering complete data, missing data, data being loaded, reacting to user events, etc. In a smaller code base expressing these data dependencies would just seem tedious (writing graphQL or query expressions), but it pays up big time in larger applications.

we're using untangled framework in production, I can't say enough good things about it.

I hadn't heard of VoltDB until now, but have been following jepsen for a while. I wish more project did what you did. Congrats on the increased reliability.

I love Spacemacs, I'm a total convert I barely ever use vim now -- best of both worlds.
