@groovestomp @groovestomp Talking to a more senior dev? I'm guilty of saying that, with the notion that it may comfort the dev...

Just read a libraries code to figure out how to supplement its Transit readers, easy peasy, because the docs haven't been updated in years and didn't include that tidbit. Feels good! #Clojure #ClojureScript

in #clojurescript
(clojure.string/replace "Hello World Johnny" #" " "")

🚀 Problem Solving

Given a string input, you need to extract only non-whitespace characters and returns the string.

Example:

Input → "Hello World Johny"
Output → "HelloWorldJohny"

Can you write just a one-liner code for it?

Hint in JavaScript: You can use split, join etc.

Very much this! I consider that kind of conscious effort part of learning the language and, indeed, of becoming a better programmer in ANY language. This is one of the super powers of functional programming, and is also a valuable part of algorithmic thinking.

The thing with Clojure is that unless you make concious effort into splitting functions into small pieces of < 20 lines whenever possible, Clojure is horrid to read…

"iterate" is a bad concept for 95% of use cases; it requires thinking about "steps" and aggregators and side-effects. List Comprehensions are usually much better, with the idea being "give me a collection of stuff, and I'll give you some other collection back." Many languages now have these as foreach (instead of for), map, and filter. Only on special occasions does an algorithm actually require consideration of each step in context of the other steps.

Todo: write on this from a #Clojure #garden perspective. Should we make a Garden repo of canned styles? How do the mainstream #css preprocessors like SASS tie in to this?

CSS generators can save you a lot of time and effort.

@icedquinn I was going to like this, thinking of amateur programmatic synth, but then realized you might have been punning on "crap" so I decided instead to make this "toot!" #mastodon

@ademalsasa I don't use a web app for RSS feed reading, since #emacs has the very good elfeed, but I much prefer rss to newsletters. I like the "I'll subscribe" model much better than the "I'll deliver" model. I understand that content creators like to know who and how many are reading their thing, but I like having my privacy respected without me handing over another account. Plus, it's good being able to customize my viewer the way I like without being beholden to whatever customization the content distributor allows.

@icedquinn you're right. That's fast! When do diminishing returns start to kick in?
