The Clojure community is very mature and incredibly nice, so things are not bad as they are, but they could definitely be better.
I try to set aside a portion of my business revenue (I call it a "sustainability fee" in my P&L) and spread it among the authors of libraries that I use. It's not much for each author, but if everybody did this, many authors could work on open source libraries full time.
Clojure is the most stable and robust language I've ever used, and I've been using it in production for 15 years now.
Doesn't that mean the core developers are now funded by NuBank?
Isn't it in their interest that 'the core language (Clojure and Clojurescript) to not feel like it is falling apart'?
And what do you mean with falling apart?
I'm new to Clojure, so the above is a genuine question.
The downside of that is it's slow and difficult to get changes in
Instead of talking about throwing money to get the contributors to fix what you want it would be better to publicly talk about the problems
Are they tracked or known, what do they stop you from doing, how long have they been in the queue have you had any feedback etc?
And Clojure is legitimately good at data processing.
The MCP server is a relatively simple project, don’t think that’s a bad idea.
You realize that the term "AI" didn't come to life in 2009, it's been around for over 70 years?
Very cool!
I think the aot compilation story on the JVM lacks fast tooling with good UX compared to go.
