In 2005, Rich Hickey stepped away from client work and spent two years on a problem most engineers had stopped asking: what would a truly simple programming language look like?
The result was Clojure. We are telling the story in a new documentary. The trailer is out today. youtu.be/JJEyffSdBsk

Recent "sleep thief"... Direct native Wayland GUI rendering from Clojure! 👀
DSL modeled after Reagent, Hiccup, Re-com. Sexy UI, declarative(ish) & reactive with atoms in a "normal(ish)" way. WIP!

Amusement parks are such a gift from the 1890s, and if they didn’t exist, would sound like such a fever dream. “We’re gonna make a bicycle wheel as big as a house and put little seats in the spokes” “imagine high tea, but the teacups are enormous, you sit inside and they spin”

Do not agree. It's a skill. You can get good at it. The real problem is that people do not want accurate estimates.

I posted a 6 step tutorial on creating an LLM coding agent.
* Uses LiteLLM
* About 140 lines of python when finished
* Can use the free plan of GitHub Copilot (no API sign-up/credit is needed to work through the steps)
* Step 5 of the agent is used to create Step 6

just use a for loop they said. you don’t need a fancy map reduce they said. for loop is simpler they said.

So, you probably won't believe how desperate Starliner's flight to the space station got last summer ...

cycle: Returns a lazy (infinite!) sequence of repetitions of the items in coll.
take: Returns a lazy sequence of the first n items in coll, or all items if there are fewer than n.
Cycle will generate a lazy infinite sequence, so don't try to materialise that in REPL.

group-by: "Returns a map of the elements of coll keyed by the result of
f on each element. The value at each key will be a vector of the
corresponding elements, in the order they appeared in coll."

Clojure core (the Clojure standard library) has a lot of super useful tools for working with collections. Here's `frequencies`.

During today’s “close call” between two aircraft at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, air traffic control (ATC) can be heard telling FlexJet Flight LXJ560 several times to “hold short of runway 31 center” but despite this the pilots of the Challenger 350 decided to cross the runway anyway, nearly causing the disastrous collision with landing Southwest Flight WN2504. @flightradar24

I've been exploring with compilation errors through macro expansions, across files. This ends up requiring us to track a lot more source information, but the results can be very nice. #clojure

It's so cool!
Someone contributed a patch to my Clojupyter kernel Colab setup script, and it's now so much faster to install.

I think #clojure got me. I officially can’t code in a large JavaScript project anymore.
I’m sigh-ing every 2 minutes and can’t focus at all

hacked together a #clojure tool to make little art 'cards'.
With improvements, the idea is to be able to use this on my phone and save the SVGs. Hoping to use it when I get bored in lines or whatever, hopefully leading to some more artistic output

Multimethods are amazing and pattern matching and ISA hierarchies in them is quite powerful. I am using them in many places in @orgpad_info. For example to handle mouse events, we match on four parameters:
- event type (click, double-click, drag, various gestures),
- id of the target element,
- application mode (edit, view, present)
- pressed modifiers (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT or combination of these).
