Just recently discovered the author, Anthony Green. Floored and inspired by his productivity and scope of projects!

I enjoyed reading up on his fiber implementation and dabbling with the Java compiler/runtime integration.

Kudos Anthony - you make the world a more interesting place ;-)

Thank you!

Very nice and approachable! Almost makes me want to come back to assembly again ;-)

Agree completely - so much I just had to echo your observations ;-)

I love the aesthetics and simplicity at display here. Very functional and just the right amount of information. Kudos to the Busy Status Bar team from here as well!!

Its funny you mention the aesthetics, because that's actually what i really liked from the get-go...and then started noticing all this niceties that i listed above (and more i'm sure). Like you, i'm loving the aesthetics!

I found this talk to be the single most influential on my way of thinking of all my years on trying to absorb knowledge from the net. Very recommendable no matter your favorite language - I love that the concepts are applicable to a wide range of situations.

This has led me to his other talks which are heads and shoulders over most comparable content. I have learned more and found more enjoyment & enlightenment in the line of thinking he presents than the alternatives. Not shitting on anyone, just giving credit where credit is due. If you are open and willing to learn and come from a "traditional" background I think you will have your mind expanded like me.

Thank you Rich! ;-)

Rich is an absolute genius hands down.

If nothing else, I am grateful for the introduction to Selah Sue (music that plays when you press, well.. the play symbol in the top animation).

Spectacular vibe! Combined with the fullscreen animation is almost reminiscent of the demo-scene. I enjoyed the rest of the actual web page much more after that.

I salute thee whoever made this. Much appreciated!

I spent some good quality time in this document.

Pure joy to interact and learn from resources such as these. Amit Patel - thank you if you ever read this!

Thank you!

Not sure I can give an ELI5 explanation, but for me this the closest to what you are after in two short videos on the topic. At least they helped me get up to speed fast.

Hope they will do the same for you ;-)

In that case - please have more fun ;-)

Thank you - I really enjoyed the flashback to my childhood you provided me just now!

> I've heard the creator of Clojure all but say he has put no thought into package management. Nice language, but it's not worth the cost of having to change how the rest of us work when there's existing environments that address the very basics that a developer needs.

Clojure relies on maven for this. Maven is a pretty accomplished package manager in the Java ecosystem. If Rich Hickey said that I assume he meant that he did not _have_ to invent a package manager as it comes for free from the underlying system.

To add, on Clojure you can also easily use git repos and local directories specified in deps.edn - these tend to get used mostly for private/internal deps.

ClojureScript side mostly uses the Maven mechanism for getting ClojureScript deps from Clojars (a Maven repo), but can also import Node modules for interop.

Amazing! Can't wait to try it ;-)
