Re: Clojure Culture Question on TDD

Hi Daniel, I believe the point of the analogy is that tests can't do the thinking for you. In that sense, a strict TDD workflow where you think only about the very next test might be undesirable. In case you didn't read it, this article explains it much better:

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

Not being politically correct is fine. But an attack on anonymous stupid people in this context is pointless and sours the otherwise potentially useful commentary. It also completely derails the topic. Comment on the objective aspects of the technology. If you have a personal issue with

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

Luc, you are missing the point: this isn't the forum for that discussion regardless of how valid the points in that discussion are. This is a _Clojure_ forum, not a 'what's wrong with the (technology) world' forum, I would suggest this isn't even a 'how can Clojure fix the world' forum. Luc,

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

This is another way of saying Do not point the contrast between Clojure and other technologies just because I don't know those technologies. I believe showing the clear contrasts (and in general pain points in this field) by people like me who worked in both Clojure and non clojure technologies

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

The 'attack' word is again a manifestation of extreme political correctness. I will argue that these technologies with their inherent complexity are creating huge bureaucracies to attract and hide unqualified/unskilled/uncommited/... aka 'stupid' people from scrutiny. These environments have

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

The list is so cool that I think this discussion is actually part of the book's marketing strategy. It worked! I just bought my copy ;-) On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 4:57 PM, Colin Yates colin.ya...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Leonardo, I haven't read it yet but I am very much looking forward to it based

Re: [ANN] Reagent + Sente (+ Heroku) = Rente

That's awesome. I'm really glad to see people using the Heroku button for projects like this. Is there a reason you explicitly set the BUILDPACK_URL? Heroku should detect the `project.clj` and use the Clojure buildpack automatically (I was able to deploy like that when I tested it). If there

[CFP] JavaOne - Clojure submissions welcomed and recommended

Clojurists, The JavaOne conference, a huge gathering, is taking place in San Francisco on October 25-29th. The Call for Proposals is now open [1], and I encourage you to submit a proposal related to Clojure. There are many different tracks and session formats available. Specifically of

[ANN] map-regexps, regexps for map seqs instead of text

Hi! (let [a {:a 1} b {:b 1}] (map-regexps/re-seq {:a 1}+ [a b a a])) ([{:a 1}], [{:a 1} {:a 1}]) Check out https://github.com/oskarkv/map-regexps I hope you find it useful! This is my very first public library, so feel free to give comments and critique about anything and everything. I'm

Re: [ANN][book] Clojure Reactive Programming

So far I'm finding the book instructive! Good job. As far as the detour, I'd keep in mind that in general Rich likely isn't in favor of it on this list but on the other hand I didn't find that the criticism was personal as no names were mentioned and I commiserate about so called architects

Fine with me. Let's call it off. It's not either a forum about netiquette or about 'how bad this word/expression hurts anonymous people'. Luc, you are missing the point: this isn't the forum for that discussion regardless of how valid the points in that discussion are. This is a _Clojure_

There is value in comparing approaches, minus the personal attacks. I would suggest starting a different thread, though. Bringing this back to the original topic - I'm about 25% through the book, and it is really good so far. Thank you Leonardo for writing what so far appears to be a very
