[JOB] Rewe Digital in Cologne, Germany (English-speaking team)

Hi! Rewe Digital has a couple Clojure jobs in Cologne, Germany. To add to their 5-person English speaking team. Afterwards, they plan to grow a second Clojure team. Rewe is a major German supermarket & tourism chain. About three years ago, they formed an "internal startup." Currently it has ~1

Re: Education on Dynamic Binding

I wonder whether it's been dropped because of threads. (If I understand correctly, you have to remember to tell the thread to inherit dynamic bindings. Which may be difficult if you have a framework creating threads as an implementation detail...) On Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 4:01:29 AM UTC+2,

First of all, I apologize to the group for any unfriendliness in my response. (Which may be poisonous to this group’s culture, I don’t know. Unfortunately, many old frustrations of mine were triggered, when I felt my question was given an uncharitable interpretation.) The term “pull request

Great to hear! This week I wasted half a day over some silly error which should've been caught quickly. Mistakenly believed the input suddenly turned complex, requiring a complicated grammar. My personal postmortem discovered a bias — I thought, "Cool, let's whip out Instaparse! Let's paint a

Hi! This highly depends on what’s most effective for you. If I were your tutor [1], I’d hear “but i wanna to start from emacs and emacs lisp,” and take that as a strong indicator that this path (first exploring Emacs) might be effective for you. Useful to probe more deeply into two threads: y

Analysis that only vectors & range results should be chunked by default?

Hi! (I'm writing clojure-doc.org articles, so any help/corrections will help others too.) Why is Clojure designed so that only vectors and `range` results are chunked (when you seq them), and not other things? Did someone profile Clojure programs, and these were the two hotspots? Or was it a m

Re: Do you like the Clojure syntax?

Hi, Random thought from a very tired person. :) Programmers manipulate tiny pieces of reality, so tiny that quantum effects come into play. [1] Many of us (unknowingly) train our visual senses to help us calculate these strange manipulations with less strain. Maybe if we train it on too narrow

That is very exciting. Will talk with my usergroup. I'd personally really love a discussion on what we've been up to in promoting Clojure locally, and what your thoughts are. For instance, I'm no longer enthusiastic about coming up with a talk (which goes in one ear and out the other), but rath

Interesting; these arguments sound oddly like those surrounding Common Lisp's "loop" macro. When reading Midje's docs, I got the weird impression Brian was aware of the history of "non-lispy" macros. Taken straight from http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/loop-for-black-belts.html : (loop repeat 5

Hello! I am helping run a Clojure workshop for a company's employees. (We will use Quil to program Conway's Game of Life, in pairs or small teams. We'll first show people how to use a cheatsheet of Clojure forms, which they can cut & paste and mold; and give them a repo with a basic framework f
