So I've been working on a visual novel game in Clojure

* What I expected: AH YES MY GAME IS A DATASTRUCTURE I HAVE WIELDED THE POWER OF FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LOOK AT THIS CODEBASE -hacker noises-

* What I got: ah yes my game is a data structure my codebase is very small and done so i dont code anymore, i just write all this dialogue

Physics = Applied Math
Software Development = Applied Philosophy

Infer clojure specs from sample data. Inspired by F#'s type providers.

My biggest takeaway from self publishing is that copy editing is hard. Thought I got them all - but next edition will have them cleaned up.

Achievement unlocked. Self pubbed a book

Happy to announce the release of Code Shifter, sci-fi fiction aimed at kids with elements of real Clojure code in it http://www.codeshifterbook.com/

How can there be no ads? Because your admins are paying for the servers and run them as a hobby. It's not crazy expensive, but it does take up free time. They still do it because they enjoy the communities that develop. These instances are free with no ads because nice people are running them as a gift for you because they like you. Now, is that better than Facebook's or Twitter's business model or what?
