What I found to be the best about this article was that it made me realize that the opinion that Lisp (or in the case of this course Clojure) may have the possibility of being a completely different experience to programming than what I'm used to, which is a good thing because I did think, or more exactly I still think most programming languages are mostly the same, with different approaches to certain things and different things you can do "out of the box" but still, mostly the same structure and syntax. I am the kind of person that thinks that if you have learned any programming language (maybe of the most common/popular ones) you have learned all. Therefore I'm kinda excited to see what Clojure has to offer. Apart from that it was fun to read, I always find interesting articles from the time when the internet was still a new thing and having 500 clients in an online startup was a great thing. It's just fun to see how the world has changed so fast that an articl...

I found this article very, I wouldn't say informative but, entertaining. It felt like the type of thing that is said as a joke at tech, specially programming and hacking, conventions. Although I was a bit disappointed that "The semicolon wars" where just a tiny reference and not the real topic, even if it probably was better of that way. Apart from that, I also found that it said a lot of things that I've witnessed, at least in the programming communities I've been part of over the last years, although of course a bit blown up for the sake of publishing (I'd guess). It is my belief that any passionate programmer has thought at least once, and probably a lot more than that "Why hasn't a programming language that mixes the best of X, Y and Z languages been made" hoping to meld the best of the handful of programming languages he likes the most. Like that's going to solve all of the little, or big, annoyances he finds while working. And I really ...

Who am I? I'm an ISC student in 6th semester. I don't really know what to expect from this class, apart from the obvious "to learn something interesting". My hobbies include: snowboarding, competitive programming, gaming, and most contact sports. Some of the movies/series that I've enjoyed recently are: Star Wars The last Jedi, The Greatest Showman and Jumanji
