the brexiters keep quitting

martintrojer09:07:13

Winners never quit etc

quentin09:07:15

who quit this time?

thomas09:07:39

what has he done this time?

martintrojer09:07:38

his job is done apparently

martintrojer09:07:50

leave the cleaning up to someone else

xlevus10:07:30

oh god I read the commends by accident

paulspencerwilliams10:07:35

@xlevus: oh noes! Are you okay? Manage to get out?

xlevus10:07:51

my head exploded

xlevus10:07:00

but I think I'm fine now. I'm looking at pictures of puppies

kevin4210:07:41

someone needs to make a comment generator for the daily mail it’s so stereotypical, maybe it can be called angry commenter mob

thomas10:07:40

maybe we should do the opposite… and try and make people happy

kevin4211:07:34

good idea 🙂

kevin4211:07:43

a spammy positive bot

xlevus11:07:57

Commentor: "The EU are a bunch of money-hungry dicatator cunts" BotL "U R THA BAEST. KAEP IT UP!"

thomas12:07:27

and… considering that the daily mail is running clojure we can say we are load testing some clojure code 😉

agile_geek12:07:01

@thomas: certainly a lot of ppl dropping a 'load' of something on the site 😆

djtango13:07:09

On the note of the DM using Clojure, it neatly introduces a question I've been meaning to pose to the channel...

djtango13:07:41

Why do people think Clojure is growing in popularity/adoption? What does Clojure offer developers coming from more traditional stacks? (Python/Ruby/JS)

djtango13:07:10

Is it the functional/declarative style which leads to code that is easier to reason about?

dominicm13:07:20

For me it was simplicity coming from those stacks.

dominicm13:07:25

I actually understood what was going on. I'm fairly inexperienced with programming and I don't think I've ever swallowed the pill of OO. Clojure was concentrated on straight-forward reasoning. I liked that.

dominicm13:07:32

Also alongside that "I can understand this" is why I avoid Compojure, and was drawn to Bidi.

benedek13:07:23

today’s best/worst comments may be interesting 😉 or both funny and sad to read usually 😄

glenjamin13:07:16

i think the simplicity is nice, but the fact that simplicity is talked about and made an actual goal is even nicer

martintrojer13:07:23

For me, its all about the Limericks

thomas14:07:37

for me it is the philosophy.

thomas14:07:26

and the parenthesis of course 😉
