New information just in: instead of having been written in #rust, it's written in #clojure. Interesting choice. Publisher says they can't write #rustlang.
#Clojure is suffering app startup performance due to the recent #Java 11.0.2 update. The cause is likely to impact java #software#applications as well, if architected as outlined in the article.
"Cljinit woes.
Earlier this week it was pointed out to me that the latest JDK updates (8u202/11.0.2) has a rather large startup/performance issue when running Clojure in certain modes," by Claes Redestad: https://cl4es.github.io/2019/02/21/Cljinit-Woes.html
I engage in efforts to teach people program for the first time as part of #FSHM.
I am amazed at the simplicity of #clojure#lisp. I would only have to teach them the basics of #logic to understand #RPN and they now know the entire lang.
Why are we melting away brains in the form of stupid syntax when everything can be processed as lists?
I haven't introduced #clojure to a first time programmer yet, will do that and compare it with how they take to #python.
#peertube people: Do any of you have a link to a series of talks about what makes #Clojure interesting, on PeerTube? I stumbled across it and cannot find the link now :( #videos#programming
i'd have to say, #clojure#lisp has failed, due to, complex intermix with java/jvm, and the clojure community as a cult refusing to listen. While, #golang , @kotlin are thriving. The #kotlin actually replaces clojure, with 10x more users.
it's funny, that the clojure head Rich Hickey emphasize simplicity, and makes a fuzz about simple may appear hard. But that's a tinted glass look of simplicity. Clojure, the way it forces intermix with java, is more complex than ANY programing language.

there are some idiots, e.g. a guy from #racketlang group who wrote a book, saying that syntax is not import. That's the most idiotic claim in entirety of programing literature.
i never understood how any of #golang#clojure etc compile to #JavaScript do dom. e.g. can anyone show me how this is done?: document.getElementById("id").addEventListener("click",((e)=>{e.target.innerHTML='<p>hi</p>'}));
