final result:
The power of regexps and emacs. Turn copy-pasted strings into #clojure data-structures of three items. This would be much harder without lisp syntax.
@veer66 Clearly Rich Hickey came from Java before Lisp :)
@veer66 Uh oh... that led me to confirm: it is `ceil` in c++, too. So history is to blame on all this convention!
@veer66 Right you are! Clojure must have just grabbed the same name as Java. Still confusing for those of us who have not used Java in a long while. https://metager.org/meta/meta.ger3?eingabe=java+math+ceiling
@veer66 is `ceil` the Java way? (jvm is byte code, so not what we're typing)
Well, that was annoying. Clojure.math/floor must have an opposite, right? But contrary to normal #clojure style, I had to look up the documentation to find out why it wasn't "ceiling"
@carce I don't know, but I sure hope so!
It seems that unit testing and private functions are opposed by convention in #clojure Cider and presumably other places -- a fact that can make TDD difficult since, hey -- I need to test that each line of the data spec is handled properly, but those shouldn't be exposed to library users. Solution settled on making a quasi-private namespace where we hide things that drive the main api functions -- technically still public, but documented for clients.

Recently I've been affected by mindful chats w/ @otfrom @kloimhardt @reborg @kiraemclean @TeodorHeggelund @lambduhh @metasoarous @ezmiller about #Clojure community & knowledge building. Wholesome people are putting their thoughts into making things friendly. It makes me hopeful.

Y'all need to listen to this.
SO serves about 2 billion page views a month and 6k RPS
they don't use what the cool kids use. No micro services, no kubernetes.
Lot of fun to listen to. https://twitter.com/alexcwatt/status/1544876135711916035
Whoa! Just learned about Asymptote for vector graphic generation. It can produce SVG and is apparently great for web. This could be very useful! https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/index.html
@lina oh, no unicode involved. I don't know. I'll have to try it on my wife 😘
@lina Do you mean RBF? or female faces?
