That's the one.


What exactly is the problem with AGPL if you just want to use it within your environment/company? It is no different than other OSS licenses in that sense.


Related to your understanding of licenses, do you consider the Elastic License and Server Side Public License (SSPL) to be the 2020 updated version of the 1990 pragmatic idealism or do you consider them to be not similar in any way at all?


Same with my dog, I always “talk” to him and he’s pretty good at vocabulary so far.

Thanks a lot for at least giving as a glimpse before the announcement :)


FYI - For some reason clicking on England flag still redirects to French version.


Some people might interpret that as taking a stand in the politics of language.


Weird. Works for me. Could you plz retry. Thanks


same here. I think its the combination of ublock and default firefox settings thats blocking some files and causing this issue.

btw, congrats on the launch. I consulted for similar startups in india and everyone is trying to get into the "kirana" model


Just to be sure, I don't think that's enough. You might want to kill the running process and remove the binary (as described under "Quick Fix" section in the blog post)


If you consider Clojure Lisp-related there's https://m.soundcloud.com/defn-771544745 (disclaimer: I'm a co-host) and there is http://blog.cognitect.com/cognicast/ from Cognitect (the company that stewards Clojure)


Thanks! I had known (but forgotten) about the Cognitect one, but defn is new to me.

I also came across (not a Lisp-devoted series admittedly) but an episode of another podcast which focusses on Racket [https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2015/11/04/racket-with-...].

I haven't found any podcast series devoted to (Common) Lisp or Scheme so far though.


Trivial asside: almost everyone on this site says ‘disclaimer’ when they mean ‘disclosure’ - unless it’s some cutesy humble tongue-in-cheek thing?


I tend to disown because we call the podcast _irreverant_ for a reason :)


Did you mean Stuart Sierra? :-)


Whoops! Clojure is the only community I know with a confusion of Stuarts.


From my non-substantial experience in Clojure and Scala, I'd say that Clojure is simpler and faster to learn and get productive quickly than Scala. Scala has lot more syntax and concepts that you need to grok compared to simplicity of Clojure.

I'm curious why you say Clojure has a steep learning curve.


Clojure has a steep learning curve because it's purely functional.

Most programmers grow up with learning OOP and so throwing all of that out and asking you brain to do everything in reverse is challenging. I know having worked with a dozen J2EE developers in their transition to Clojure. It took at least 3 months to just be productive.

Scala for many people is just Java with a sprinkling of functional and they never really bother to learn the internals or the more complex areas like generic programming e.g. Shapeless/Cats.


IMO it's just the syntax that comes across as really bizarre. Scala is much more complex than Clojure aside from the initial hurdle of getting used to that syntax.

Personally I think it's less about FP vs OOP -- even if the OO parts of Scala are familiar, you're going to encounter FP code in Scala, and in general there is a lot more to learn with Scala as a language just to be able to read other people's code effectively.


I use https://github.com/amperser/proselint with emacs fly check support + e-prime mode.


Ah, cool, thanks!
