Many people worry that's Lisp is full of "algorithmic techniques such as recursion and condescension"...

But Clojure's an approachable and practical Lisp on the JVM, with lots of support and great libraries.

weird how the company named after an epithet that companies use to cajole their developers into working overtime has cajoled their developers into working overtime

[const fear = true @sjmarshy]

@morley_laura That’s secret puddles for you

[Ada Powers //☁️ @powe.rs @unknownmetric]

what if we need less "teach kids to code" and more NeoPets-style "provide compelling online experiences that can be enhanced through code and let kids teach themselves"
