Sometimes I wonder, if we removed all Java's accumulated conventions and 'best practice', would people actually love the language? Most of the verbosity is self-inflicted.

Earlier this week, @malcolmsparks@joelittlejohn and @jonpither visited challenger bank Kroo to learn about their use of Clojure.
Huge thanks to Dean Chapman and @andfadeev for being such great hosts, and roaming the park with us for our chat!🙏
I appreciate what ONCE is trying to do to challenge SaaS pricing. As a compromise though, could we just please bring back some fairer per-usage billing plans?

This is some of the most powerful writing on commercial software development I've read in a long time.
Every paragraph discusses a real problem I've encountered first hand – and occasionally one that I've caused myself

Enjoyed chatting with @malcolmsparks, @refset, and @jarohen on this podcast about Rama, its Clojure roots, and some of the difficult engineering challenges we solved while developing it https://t.co/500wzIcdK8
This has been some time in the works, but well worth the wait. We had a really nice long chat with Nathan, getting under the hood of Rama. Don't miss this!
