TIL: code can run at (as opposed to _near_) speed. Here we see the benchmark results of two of my Eratosthenes implementations, one in Clojure and one in Java (basically a port of the Clojure one).

Is it fair to call all the data scientists non career-programmers? Not sure, but good point

In (non-native! That one sucks) full-screen mode, Emacs is quite a nice writing environment. I enjoy this more than having a floating window on a larger screen, actually.

The "Writeroom" concept is still amazing.

Im working through this book right now , enjoying it. "Tell me you're a Clojure programmer without saying you're a Clojure programmer" is a great approach for a book , it turns out

. What other languages have destructuring, out of curiosity?

Destructuring is very powerful, but don't overdo it. Mixing styles and destructuring multiple levels at once will make your code hard to read.

What are your tips for keeping your Clojure code easy to follow?

💡 Did you know you can change the accent color of elements such as radios or checkboxes?

This just happened and is a great example of what I call "chat literacy." Red identified "please add me" could easily be taken negatively, and made their intent clear in parens. This is a critical pattern that remote team members need to foster healthy comms through a text medium

I understand how those foreign to Lisp and can find things like this scary, but when it becomes associated with the ease of structural editing and scope clarity, you might actually find it beautiful.

It isn't mentioned much, but Clojure's form comment syntax is absolutely fantastic. With a `#_` you can comment out a sexps which are valid syntax, but no good for some other reason. It makes regexp find-replace great for removing things breaking my reagent (reactjs) manufactured code.
