Woops haha meant to search what I said last 😛

@tedhogan: I'm thinking about using Phoenix, Om, Datomic... looking into if they will fit together

@grounded_sage: may be http://joxa.org/ or http://lfe.io/

if you mean Erlang VM by BEAM

Hi guys, I am currently playing a bit with the 4clojure problems and stumbled upon something that works fine in my repl but the website gives me an Error:

An Error occured: timeout

@meikemertsch: I would assume that's just JavaScript timing out. Either your computer is slow or your solution is. I would typically assume it's your solution (don't worry, it happens!), but it could be something else. I actually don't remember how 4clojure works technically. Does it timeout when evaluating something client side?

Or do you submit the answer and you get a timeout error? If that's the case could it be something on their side or your network?

the latter… I have no clue

It’s not something very calculation heavy

see http://www.4clojure.com/problem/195

happens already on the first one

Ah. So you don't get specifically the timeout error if the solution is different? For example if you just try having the solution be some simple function application such as (+ 1 1) you don't get the timeout error?

Or is there an infinite loop in your solution perhaps?

@ian why would it work in my repl then?

Oh hm, you said it worked in the REPL.

exactly

That is interesting. Did you try some bogus no-op solution?

I wonder if that stuff is parsed somehow on 4clojure

I just don’t see the issue.

In my repl:

"Elapsed time: 1.419835 msecs” 

it’s really small

Hm.

Sorry to repeat myself, but the bogus answer? Does any and every solution give the timeout error?

nope

if there’s something wrong the tests fail

But if the solution is right you get a timeout error?

Then surely there is a problem with 4clojure?

I don’t know

Yeah, it timed out for me as well. It must be a temporary problem with 4clojure.

Unfortunately

hmmmm

Thanks Ian

@meikemertsch: That's usually an indication that your solution needs to be optimized. It can be "correct", but not optimized enough to run in the time constraints. It's happened to me too

Whoops, I see that you're already answered. My slack just did not refresh yet.

Well, I did exchange my ‘iterate’ in my solution by a loop/recur with the rest of the code being the same and it worked...
