@carce yeah, the numerics, webdev, and database communities are robust and friendly. I am not a part of game dev in any language, though, but guess they would be smaller communities in Clojure. What languages have exemplary game dev communities to you?

First, agreement. Second, there is a lot of hate or confusion about the JVM, but what in particular is it bad for? Is it just confusing to Javascript/Python users? (This isn't a jab -- I really want to understand)

@AnnaGHughes I tried Common LISP many years ago. It felt a bit clunky but I could see the potential. Then Clojure came along and it’s pretty amazing. The main downside has been that it’s built on top of the Java VM which isn’t suitable for everything, but there are now other targets too.
VSCode isn't timeless enough. It needs to be more like emacs.

This morning I've jotted down some thoughts on the topic of making Emacs "modern" https://batsov.com/articles/2022/06/01/who-needs-modern-emacs/ So, who needs modern Emacs?

Why are people writing new editors when we already have the One True Editor? 😉 https://twitter.com/peterseibel/status/1531328395618836480

5 steps for an open source dev to find a husband or wife:
1. Upload a marriage certificate on GitHub
2. Make sure to put your name in it
3. Wait for someone to make a PR
4. If it’s acceptable, merge it
5. Is it legal? Well I mean they already committed to it…

Sometimes you see ugly code and you try to refactor it but after spending time you realize that the code can't be refactored, it *HAS* to be the way it is.
The problem lies elsewhere.
I'd wager it's the data model.
Your code is a slave to your data model.
@Albright WordPress may have ugly code, but it is a crucial player in my job between ecosystem and open-source
@greenCoder Unfortunately I need to conform with the masses on this one. Plus I still do some gaming. So mouses are necessary whenever I actually need a cursor pointer.
@alexandra how do you get news about what the w3c is up to? Is there someone/something I should follow?
Oh, I mentioned wanton macros as the enemies of readability. I forgot the other BIG one I had in Common Lisp: dynamic scope. Which you CAN do in Clojure, but I've only known two use cases. Dynamic scope is one of those ideas that was almost never good...

Summing up 20+ years of syntax debates: I want to write lisp but I don't want to read lisp

They left out the cond and condp tables. Lisp is the king of control statements :)

The 0.9.4 version (latest) of Bulma is missing their .list style, in both mini and full. I can't find any mention of this removal, so I am guessing it's a bug? #css
TIL that C# and the CLR in general actually can't do Tail Call Optimization. Does anyone know if this is the same reason that the JVM can't do it, so we have manual work-arounds is #clojure via (recur)? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/491376/why-doesnt-net-c-optimize-for-tail-call-recursion
@lucifargundam Keep your spirits up! You will get it.
Interesting little elevator pitch for a solution to many things. As a believer in, "leave state to the databases", this is great

After ~25 years of trying to get people interested in Datalog, it's been great to see an uptick in general interest. Credit for mainstreaming these ideas goes to Datomic, but that's led to many other cool uses, as can be seen in many of these talks.😊
