  • A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Nov 2023
    I have a tangential question that is related to this cool new feature.

    Warning: the question I ask comes from a part of my brain that is currently melted due to heavy thinking.

    Context: I write a fair amount of Clojure, and in Lisps the code itself is a tree. Just like this F# parallel graph type-checker. In Lisps, one would use Macros to perform compile-time computation to accomplish something like this, I think.

    More context: Idris2 allows for first class type-driven development, where the types are passed around and used to formally specify program behavior, even down to the value of a particular definition.

    Given that this F# feature enables parallel analysis, wouldn't it make sense to do all of our development in a Lisp-like Trie structure where the types are simply part of the program itself, like in Idris2?

    Also related, is this similar to how HVM works with their "Interaction nets"?

    https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/HVM

    https://www.idris-lang.org/

    https://clojure.org/

    I'm afraid I don't even understand what the difference between code, data, and types are anymore... it used to make sense, but these new languages have dissolved those boundaries in my mind, and I am not sure how to build it back up again.

  • Ask HN: Why does the Clojure ecosystem feel like such a wasteland?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Sep 2023
    As an analogy - my face hasn't changed all that much in a past few years, and I haven't changed my profile picture in those few years. Does it really mean that I'm unmaintained/dead?

    > Where can I find latest documentation [...]?

    The answer is still https://clojure.org/. And https://clojuredocs.org/ but it's community-maintained so might occasionally be missing some things right after they're released. E.g. as of this moment Clojure 1.11 is still not there since the maintainer of the website has some technical issues deploying the updated version of the website.

    For me personally, the best API-level documentation is the source code.

    > Where can I find [...] tools / libraries in a easy to use page or section?

    There's no central repository of all the available things since they can be loaded from many places (Clojars, Maven Central, other Maven repositories, S3, Git, local files).

    But there are community-maintained lists, like the one you've mentioned at https://www.clojure-toolbox.com (fully manual, AFAIK) or the one at https://phronmophobic.github.io/dewey/search.html (automated but only for GitHub). Perhaps there are others but I'm not familiar with them - most of the time, I myself don't find that much value in such services as I'm usually able to find things with a regular web search engine or ask the community when I need something in particular.

  • Why Lisp Syntax Works

    They are written in Java, and implement a bunch of interfaces, so the implementation looks complicated, but they are basically just classes with head and tail fields.

  • Why I decided to learn (and teach) Clojure

    Lisp is not a programming language, but a family of languages ​​with many dialects. The most famous dialects include Common Lisp, Clojure, Scheme and Racket. So after deciding that I was going to learn Lisp, I had to choose one of its dialects.

    I thought you might be trolling. But then when I looked at the Clojure repo on Github https://github.com/clojure/clojure the last commit was 2 months back. There is some merit in your arguments.

    1 - partial is defining a new function that ignores the type hints from func, and would introduce boxing. It also can introduce a performance hit for (remaining) argument arities > 3, since it automatically invokes a varargs variant instead of providing a concrete arity. With the varargs version, in profiling you may see RestFn showing up on hot paths, which is the varargs implementation having to munge seqs every invocation instead of being able to use concrete args matching discrete arities. Depending on the frequency of invocation this may impact performance.

    I'm using Leiningen to set up the project, so it seems that the guide on clojure.org does not apply. And in the Leiningen Docs I couldn't find anything...

    "It can't go into infinite loop" is utterly irrelevant. Over last maybe 15 years I've used a bunch of apps that just used their own programming language (from simple DSL to "just write exactly how the app is supposed to handle data") and literally not a single time has that become a problem.

    Metrics are measurements of something about your system. They are numeric values, over an interval of time, usually with associated metadata (e.g., timestamp, name). They can be raw, calculated, or aggregated over a period of time. They can come from a variety of sources like servers or APIs. Metrics are structured by default and can be stored in open source systems like Prometheus and Riemann or in off-the-shelf solutions like Amazon CloudWatch and Azure Monitor. These optimized storage systems allow you to perform queries, create alerts, and store them for long periods of time.

    Riemann is a tool for distributed system monitoring. It aggregates events from user servers and applications, combines them into a stream and transmits them for further processing or storage. Greater flexibility and fault-tolerance make Riemann different from other similar systems. Moreover, it’s written in Clojure almost completely. The code is available on GitHub and is distributed under Eclipse Public License 1.0.

    Consider dabbling in a project to get your feet wet first. You have a neat problem you want solved? Give it a shot. There an interesting open source project, fork it and tinker with the code. This will be tremendously educational both vocationally and will help you get a feel for if you'd like to work in clojure all the time. There are a lot of projects, but I chose https://github.com/riemann/riemann to read and try better to understand real world clojure.
