/me adds "mastering Clojure" to it's todo list...(via @ToJans) -- "The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis tells us that our view of the world is strongly affected by the languages we use." With this concept, Bob Martin theorizes that we will (have to) move on from programming languages that are closely tied to computers to more abstract languages--like Clojure: "It’s a different mode of expression, and it makes you see concepts that are difficult, if not impossible, to conceive of in Java, or C". Interesting and thought provoking read. Must.
Emblogginated "(take 6 carin-meier)" (via @fogus) -- Interview with Carin Meier, both a rubyist and a clojurian and quite involved with the community, she offers some insights on the differences and similarities of both communities, and a new programming paradigm: "coding moccasins"
This is the #Clojure documentation I've always wanted #typed-clojure (via @ambrosebs) -- As @fogus said: "It's not that Clojure programmers denounced static typing. It's just that no one had written the library yet.". Indeed. This is a draft of what an initial typing system would look for Clojure.
