Oddly satisfying. Almost hypnotic.

I had numerical stability issues in an app. Naively switched to ratios. Now the app spend 33% of its time computing GCDs 🥸

You’re not going to find the perfect candidate when hiring, and it’s pointless trying. It takes at least a year to get a fresh dev up to speed The best you can do is find someone who’s eager to learn and has built software by themselves that they can demonstrate and is generally good to talk to

Some non obvious removal of gensyms in core macros to make cljojuredart output more stable github.com/Tensegritics...

Are there lisps (or any language) where macro expansion can happen in post-order? Well to be honest the only thing I would be interested at the moment is post-order providing all used symbols. So just a 2-phase macro, preorder as usual and then postorder to tune the expansion.

Pretending persistent data structures solve undo/redo is about the same kind of fallacy as pretending CRDT/OT/whatever solve sync.

My favourite thing about Clojure is that there are no "migration guides".. no need to write, read, or use them. You just update your dependencies if and when you want to, then carry on. This is how it should be.

The typical discourse about DX (Development Experience) entails two pervasive assumptions: 1) that it's only for developers, and 2) that it's primarily for writing. We have to outgrow both. 1/

Weapons from a more civilized age. In the late 80s, PL and DB really embraced at Brown: both Zdonik and Kanellakis chaired DBPL. Plus on the OO side: Zdonik ⭢ OODBs, Wegner ⭢ Cardelli-Wegner, William Cook ⭢ modern OO theory! Will was always influenced by that DBPL vision.

Most persistent data structures are trees of Nodes holding some metadata and an array. For some (Clojure* vectors, CLJD sorted colls), metadata isn’t used during traversal. Shouldn’t we put a NodeMetadata in the first slot of the array and shift actual content by one? This would halve indirections.

I will be resuming my monthly offer of free gamedev mentoring, resume/CV review etc. here on Bluesky as I think it'll work well. I'll finally clear my queue from last time then make another post this month!
