[ANN] Clojure SYNC Sponsorship kit (updated)

Hello, Clojurists! Clojure SYNC, the Clojure conference in New Orleans in February, is right around the corner. It's a great opportunity for learning and networking--especially for companies who are looking to meet their future Clojure employees. If you think you or your company wants to get in

Re: Immutable names of things?

Hi Didier, Are you familiar with Unison (http://unisonweb.org/)? It has this same feature. Functions are named by a hash of their code (the AST). Names refer to hashes. So if you want to recompile a function, you can optionally choose newer versions of all of the functions. But changing a funct

Re: [core.spec] Stricter map validations?

Wow, this has been a really great discussion. I have only played with spec a little, not used it in production. Reading this and participating has really helped me clarify a lot of things. Thanks! In particular, I've been thinking a lot about the three things you mentioned, Didier: safety, comp

Re: [core.spec] Stricter map validations?

Hey everybody! I'm chiming in after seeing this linked to in The Repl (https://therepl.net/). On Alex's suggestion, I rewatched Spec-ulation last night. The parts about negation and evolution are towards the end. I was struck (once again) by how clearly he picked apart changes. Relaxing a requ

Re: Pareto's Clojure

Hi Sayth, You're welcome. You may also be interested in a recent article I wrote where I analyzed 4 million lines of Clojure to find the most commonly called functions, macros, and special forms. If you order them by frequency, there's definitely a long tail curve where the most common expres

Re: Pareto's Clojure

Hi Sayth! This is quite an interesting question. I would dive into the abstractions at the core of Clojure: Seq, Associative, Fn, and Deref. Having a good grasp of these will give you a nice foundation into what the language is all about. Seq https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/

Good question. I think it's important to address this seriously. Om.next is a very different architecture from Om today. Many companies are using Om, and David has assured everyone that it will continue to exist . That said, it's un

Hi Pablo I think the reason you've got so many responses is because most people share the same problem. I do think this is a fruitful area of discussion. There are multiple ways to go about it. Based on your original post, I'll share my two cents: In my experience, mixing an atom and dynam

Re: Strange behavior with alts! and :default in core async

Hi there, The :default option is for a *value* that should be returned if none of the channels are available. The expression is evaluated *before* the async/alts! call happens (just like normal parameters). I think you are misunderstanding alts!. It should be used like this (let [[val ch] (asy

Hi, I thought this might interest Clojure programmers. I have a Kickstarter project to create screencasts to introduce people to Clojure. The project so far is doing well, but there is still a ways to go. One hour of video is set at a very good price ($5). If it does well, I hope to create more
