Is Clojure good?

• Create a Server Driven CLI from your REST API

  Another project of mine Bob can be seen as an example of spec-first design. All its tooling follow that idea and its CLI inspired Climate. A lot of Bob uses Clojure a language that I cherish and who's ideas make me think better in every other place too. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Scheming About Clojure

  Clojure is a LISP for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). As a schemer, I wondered if I should give Clojure a go professionally. After all, I enjoy Rich Hickey's talks and even Uncle Bob is a Clojure fan. So I considered strength and weaknesses from my point of view:. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Moving your bugs forward in time

  ‍For the rest of this post I’ll list off some more tactical examples of things that you can do towards this goal. Savvy readers will note that these are not novel ideas of my own, and in fact a lot of the things on this list are popular core features in modern languages such as Kotlin, Rust, and Clojure. Kotlin, in particular, has done an amazing job of emphasizing these best practices while still being an... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Let's write a simple microservice in Clojure

  This article will explain how to write a simple service in Clojure. The sweet spot of making applications in Clojure is that you can expressively use an entire rich Java ecosystem. Less code, less boilerplate: it is possible to achieve more with less. In this example, I use most of the libraries from the Java world; everything else is a thin Clojure wrapper around Java libraries. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking

  I have a tangential question that is related to this cool new feature. Warning: the question I ask comes from a part of my brain that is currently melted due to heavy thinking. Context: I write a fair amount of Clojure, and in Lisps the code itself is a tree. Just like this F# parallel graph type-checker. In Lisps, one would use Macros to perform compile-time computation to accomplish something like this, I think.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Why does the Clojure ecosystem feel like such a wasteland?

  As an analogy - my face hasn't changed all that much in a past few years, and I haven't changed my profile picture in those few years. Does it really mean that I'm unmaintained/dead? > Where can I find latest documentation [...]? The answer is still https://clojure.org/. And https://clojuredocs.org/ but it's community-maintained so might occasionally be missing some things right after they're released. E.g. As of... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Best implementation of CL for learning purposes

  As a Java/Scala user you should check out Clojure! It is highly recommended (https://clojure.org). Source: about 2 years ago

• Why I decided to learn (and teach) Clojure

  Lisp is not a programming language, but a family of languages ​​with many dialects. The most famous dialects include Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Racket. So after deciding that I was going to learn Lisp, I had to choose one of its dialects. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• 8 Meta-learning Tips To Grow Your Skills as a Software Engineer

  I learned Clojure to implement a plugin for Metabase (the tool my former company used for creating business dashboards). I probably won’t ever use the language anymore in the future, but learning functional programming was fun and eye-opening. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• hep plz idk where else to ask

  Why not Clojure? Java is a fine language. The problem is that most people who do use it are incredibly lazy and don't use it well. Then you remember languages like C and C++ exist, and are thankful that these same people use Java instead. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there any currently working way to import a local Java .jar library into a Clojure project?

  I'm using Leiningen to set up the project, so it seems that the guide on clojure.org does not apply. And in the Leiningen Docs I couldn't find anything... Source: over 2 years ago

• how will i go about learning lisp?

  I don't have any references for these claims, but I reckon the two most well-known and most used versions of Lisp these days are found in Clojure and Common-lisp. Both sites link to resources on how to learn the language. Source: over 2 years ago

• Will Clojure destroy my career?

  Clojure needs marketing. Beautiful hand-crafted websites with shiny code examples, easy to get started tutorials, online REPLs, video tutorials, regular blog posts about *simple* issues. The current clojure.org website, while significantly improved over the last years, doesn't cut it: it speaks the language of veteran software architects, not junior aspiring programmers (don't believe me?

• Need some advice, feeling depressed about the direction of our industry

  First of all: You have deep knowledge. That is good and valuable. The Java ecosystem is not going anywhere and it will stay relevant for years to come. But there are also other technologies that have their merits. I understand that you find it frustrating to look at them and you feel like it's a huge wall to climb to also learn these technologies after you have invested so incredibly much time in mastering the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Interactive Experience like Calva for Python?

• Revealing my strategy to algo trading, letting the computer do my bidding

  I envisioned an AI that that could adjust it's strategy based on collecting its own winning predictions and losing predictions, and improving/adjusting itself with that data - using a fairly simple neural network; just a 3-layer multilayer perceptron or "MLP", meaning there is only two hidden layers. I think I did end up with a pretty sophisticated program written on Clojure, a programing language that's great for... Source: about 3 years ago
