ClojureConj is the yearly get-together for the Clojure community, and Chariot was a sponsor this year as it happened in our backyard. What follows is a quick conversation with Chariot consultants Dan Boykis, Anatoly Polinsky, and Ron Lusk about their week attending the Conj. We apologize for the noise on the recording – people were … Read More
In this talk, we will cover the design of core.async, and then move directly to exploring core.async’s capabilities. Finally, we will assemble these primitives into substantial working programs, building toward the Holy Grail of async: substantial UI application development in the browser, with no callbacks in sight.
Explore the potential of contracts as the best-yet compromise between types and tests. No Clojure experience (or interest) needed.

From the abstract: Typed Clojure is a gradual type system for Clojure and ClojureScript. In practice, type checking resembles “linting”: it is separate from compilation and must be called explicitly. This has some interesting implications. Instead of porting your old code to a “typed” variant of your language, you can gradually add type annotations and … Read More
By separating the type checker from the compiler, we avoid infecting the rest of the language with the massive complexities of a static type system. Our compiler is simple and robust, our language design is unrestricted by an arbitrary type system, and our users are free to choose the right type system for the job.
In this talk, we explore this idea further and demonstrate what such a type system is like to use.
Eric Snyder recently wrote a post about comparing Clojure and Go on his blog.
“There are 2 programming languages that I am into at the moment, Clojure and Go (http://golang.org). They seem to be opposites of each other in many ways, how can I love both?”

In this podcast, I am joined by Dan Boykis and Anatoly Polinsky, two of our Chariot consultants who attended The Strange Loop conference in September. I also have some reflections from Chariot consultant Joe Berger, provided via email. Strange Loop is a 2-day conference with wraparound tutorials, and also contained a language “un-conference” by Alex Payne.

From the abstract: “Both Clojure and Scala target enterprise-sized challenges, but the development styles are very different. We will live-code a small webapp in both languages, on two projectors, while demonstrating how each language influences our thought process, and the toolchain and library best practices. We will discuss how Scala makes you think in types, … Read More
