Static typing is hard. How do you determine if something is of the same type? Is it because they have the same shape, or is it because they have the same meaning?

Ben Sless09:01:27

Do what Unison does but for types?

Ben Sless09:01:11

-> all "meaning types" are just aliases for a universal shape

otfrom09:01:32

the problem is that things with the same structure (as you understand it in the moment) but different meaning will evolve in different ways

otfrom09:01:51

and that any kind of taxonomy breaks down (which is my bugbear with inheritance)

It interested me when Alfred Whitehead was mentioned in relation to Clojure / Rich Hickey. I followed some lectures on that philosopher during my studies and I think it's completely at odds with breaking domains down into strict taxonomies. Clojure / spec2 aligns better with this.

Why do you need to determine if something is of the same type

Ben Sless15:01:18

Data of the same shape can be trivially cast to another type even though they may be of different taxonomies

Good morning! I've just finished a session together with @danielamber2 of On The Code Again (the YouTube channel) fame. It was a blast. I suggested that he should do at least one episode covering Babashka together with @borkdude.

Yeah, his videos are very entertaining. His intro consistently makes me laugh. The content is interesting too.

Daniel Amber14:01:28

Hey guys 🙂 I’d love to cover babashka with @borkdude! Thanks for the session today @pez 👌

Yeah, I don't think the cameo Babashka did today can be called ”covering” it. 😃

Daniel Amber14:01:06

We recognised its a thing though 😂

pez14:01:12

There is also nbb, btw. https://github.com/babashka/nbb

SCI might be worth it's own episode. Amazing tech.

pez14:01:47

You can actually embed Reagent/Clojure code in a html tag. That still blows my mind to think about. https://github.com/kloimhardt/bb-web

Daniel Amber14:01:24

woah… thats new to me 😳
