- @jneira it is the darndest convoluted assault on human linguistic evolution – idiomatic is irrelevant
in reply to jneira # - Lisp/clojure disrespects n assaults natural human linguistics RT: @jneira .. the idiomatic way: (reduce #(+ %2 (* 10 %1)) 0 '(1 2 3)) -> 123 #
- @jneira I like clojure for satisfaction of writing code, but it sucks when one is writing code for others to maintain – Too much retraining in reply to jneira #
- @jneira We are evolved to write and read 1 + 1, not + 1 1. The latter enriches the lang but not scalable for training the hordes. in reply to jneira #
- Measuring Javascript Parse and Load http://ff.im/-g85Rx #
- Tim Bray on HTML5 http://ff.im/-g86cH #
- @jneira The engineer in me loves Clojure – the manager says get rid of this abomination cos only the highest IQ folks will be able to use it in reply to jneira #
- @jneira What I am saying is I like the radical shake of mind .. but only when I'm thinking for myself, not when I'm thinking for others in reply to jneira #
- @jneira couldn't understand that .. can you expand ? in reply to jneira #
- @puredanger Its not alluring proposition (I myself have moved from running a team of 200 to one of 3). But it is not escapable by all. in reply to puredanger #
- @puredanger Languages that get really popular will need to be taught to a large body of programmers n for betr/worse we need to deal with it in reply to puredanger #
- Spent a lot of time learning more details of Scala & writing some scala code. While the syntax sugar is sweet, the cost of learning is high. #
- There seem to be just too many details to learn in Scala. Reminds me of C++. In this particular aspect Clojure is really cool #
- I do wonder if there is a way to write a preprocessor for Clojure which converts a natural language expression to clojure ie 1 + 1 to + 1 1 #
- @arunsark it happened to me the first time .. but I got over it .. but as I learn the details, the detailed choices are just way too many in reply to arunsark #
- @rossduncan Clojure has far lesser quantum to learn and Scala far too much. But clojure requires crossing the reverse polish syntax hurdle in reply to rossduncan #
- @rossduncan though having worked with python extensively, I long have started treating lambdas as great capabilities n not hurdles in reply to rossduncan #
- @rossduncan with clojure I think the much bigger difficulty is that our brains have not been wired for it .. imo syntax not paradigms issue in reply to rossduncan #
- @fogus my mistake .. though our brains get confused with both prefix and postfix operators .. wired for infix in reply to fogus #
- Why is my twitter feed (and yours too ??) on Google App Engine ?? http://7920074.appspot.com/dnene A backup svc or a phishing attempt ? #
- Or is twitter testing an alternative Google App Engine implementation re:last tweet on twitter pages on GAE http://7920074.appspot.com/dnene #
- An interesting tool to visualise complex json as an html page http://json.bloople.net/ #
- Whats the best way to transform json (say from nosql) into html a. json->xml + xslt b. json -> (lists, maps) + templating language c. other? #
- Thx @tim_yates @asplake @mamund for suggestions. JSON Template looks most promising so shall be the first thing I check out. re: JSON->HTML #
- Another nice way to format JSON->HTML, convert JSON to objects, and use a template language to render it http://pastebin.com/m53c9681 #
