30. Datalog is a much better query language than SQL, and will be more widely used than SQL in 2050 But might be only if you count people using natural language datalog, which will go mainstream in next 10 years https://web.archive.org/web/20181102114644/http://alexwarth.com/projects/nl-datalog/ …

31. Urbit is an interesting project, but won't actually take off unless/until someone writes an X -> Hoon or X -> Arvo or X -> "whatever" compiler because no one actually wants to think in Yarvis' pig latin.

32. Hosted languages that provide nicer abstractions over the libraries from their host language have a huge huge advantage over new languages starting from scratch. The ability to work with libraries from an existing/broader ecosystem is damn near table stakes for a new lang

34. If you haven't learned a programming language for a reason other than A) It was a assigned to you in school B) You thought it would make you money Then I doubt your a) curiosity b) open-mindedness and as a result c) competency as a engineer

35. There are two problems for programming languages to solve 1) Performance on machines 2) Usefulness as a tool for thought Right now those are complected -- Intentional Software was doing something interesting toward separating those two out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_Software …

40. Many people with 10 years of experience in software engineering haven't actually grown or learned much in that time. They've done the same first year 10 times on repeat. Polyglots generally avoid falling into this pattern.

41. Reagent (A Clojurescript wrapper around React) is way easier to read, write, and maintain than vanilla react.

42. Dan Abramov has said that Redux is not a javascript clone of Re-frame (the CLJS framework for writing SPAs in react), it is just that both were inspired by elm and arrived at similar pattern... But even so... Re-frame was first and still much better in almost every way

44. Clojurescript is an EXCELLENT choice for consumer or SaaS internet startups. If you are starting a new company and can afford it, you should spend invest a few months in learning it first and building in it vs your normal stack, will pay huge dividends over time.

47. Create-React-App and Gatsbyjs probably have made setup for Javascript projects much better. Still probably not as easy to use or as powerful as shadow-cljs.

49. VScode is a typescript IDE, is probably pretty magical, and I am likely missing some cool sources of tools for thought inspiration by not playing in that ecosystem.

53. In general, folks thinking about programming languages and computing more broadly, don't know enough history. Folks interested in the topic should read "The Dream Machine" to start and not blindly trust shitposters like me.

54. One reason to know history is so you can see what elements of your language were put in place to deal with constraints in your environment that no longer exist We don't use punch-cards, we don't need a distinction between expressions and statements http://www.paulgraham.com/diff.html pic.twitter.com/ZrFTndLQfy

55. Questions are not a sign of ignorance, they are a sign you are paying attention. It's more than OK to ask people to define terms or give a concrete example, and ok to stay in conversations you can barely understand. Applies to conversations in and about all languages.

56. Datomic is far and away the best graph database available today. Has Java and Clojure APIs, non jvm languages can use rest apis. If you're a startup, worth being in Clojure though.

Just know too many AI bros (who I still love) who've said things like "We just need 50 Von Neumanns to build an AGI god and we're set" No. And he's not all that.https://twitter.com/zhaphod/status/1206327029601165312?s=19 …

58. The most important idea in Datomic is that there is no reason to overwrite data just because it changes. It is more than a graph database, it is a graph database with a notion of time and history built in. What was Joe's address as of Dec 2017?
