@nate @borkdude I can see where you’re coming from yes. Especially with the convention to model data as flatly as possible as @nate is doing, then this doesn’t add a lot of value probably. I have never used something like that, I’m just curious 🙂

I enjoyed that episode, thanks! The concept of lenses itself is kind of new to me, so it is great having a look at it through your Clojure-lens. I’m intrigued about the reuse vs implement yourself decision by the way. I’m getting the impression (not just from you) that the Clojure community is a bit less keen on taking dependencies in than e.g. the JavaScript community. Not sure if this is because of Clojure, FP, or JavaScript 🙂

Hahaha, I think it's likely all three to some degree.

I've learned that different communities have different values

nate16:11:54

the Clojure community values simplicity, and that leads many to look at something that has a lot of general functionality (and usually more complexity because of it) and decide to write something small that just does what they need
