This is well written, adi. I particularly like the book references.


Thank you :)

If there is just one I would pick from the lot, it would be the Meadows book.

We have written production code in Clojure/ClojureScript, Haskell, Elixir, Ruby/Rails, Python, Go, and Javascript, and are partial to a functional approach to programming. You can read about some of our work[1][2] and check out the talks[3] we've given to know more.

nilenso | Senior Engineer | India, Canada | REMOTE | https://nilenso.com

We are a 9 year old boutique technology consulting firm. We care about the impact that we make in the world. As an employee-owned cooperative, we all are stakeholders in how nilenso is run and can prioritise employee happiness: we don’t need to justify how happy employees impact the bottom line. We’re currently a fully remote team of friendly people across India with one member in Canada, and are hiring folks based in either of these geographies.

We have designed, built, and delivered complex, distributed, scalable backend systems for the web that have stood the test of time. We have written production code in Clojure/ClojureScript, Haskell, Elixir, Ruby/Rails, Python, Go, and Javascript, and are partial to a functional approach to programming. You can read about some of our projects[1], their technical details[2], and check out the talks[3] we’ve given to know more.

I'm such a fan of these tiny homes!


> "Lisp is too hard to learn" is a lie; if middle schoolers can learn it, so can more seasoned programmers.

Please, some famous, authoritative figure, say this out loud. I'm running out of ideas to convince people of this.


good luck talking "seasoned programmers" into or out of anything. that's the real problem.


Lisp, like Reverse Polish Notation, is definitively not too hard to learn.

But, like Reverse Polish Notation, I don’t want to use it.
