I had to maintain a 1,000 line Perl script back at Macromedia in the early 2000's... I do not have pleasant memories of that...
Like its standard set of functions is really nice for scripting https://perldoc.perl.org/index-functions.html
But the ubiquity of perl, and the amount of nice scripting commands it has lured me to it today for a particular use case
there is just so much stuff on cpan -- though i don't know how well-maintained it is these days
I think what I like about joker is that, it's really focusing 100% on scripting. So same way I like how perl has all these weird commands. Joker standard library is full of what you'd need for scripting, like make quick http call, exec processes, create a dir, navigate the filesystem, etc
i'm not sure how i feel about it, but the impression i get is that powershell core may end up being a decent multiplatform shell
native-image is sort of cross platform -- there are some rough edges. hopefully they'll be fixed before too long. it does seem atm that joker is a more solid cross-platform option.
One of the ideas is that you can use Clojure in a bash script for tiny expressions and that it plays well with the rest of your bash.
This is an example posted by plexus yesterday:
curl | bb -o '(for [[[group art] counts] *in*] (str (reduce + (vals counts)) " " group "/" art))' | sort -rn | less
hi my room mate had this situation at work recently. They are working on a project for Spanish government and they had multiple e-mail exchanges where different members of our room mate's team spoke to different members of Spanish team. All members of room mate's team have email footer with personal picture and company logo. Few of room mate's colleagues are woman which are dressed appropriately for work (no cleavage, subtle makeup, no flashy jewelry). Well few days ago room mate's team received complaint how one of the Spanish team members is feeling offended because he had email exchange about the project from one of room mate's female colleagues. The reason? She isn't wearing hijab where you can see only eyes. What are your thoughts about this culture difference? What would you do in this situation? Say to female coworker 'hey listen you can't send emails anymore' isn't that even more discriminatory?
Tell your room mate to start living in the modern age
If he expects people to accept his culture and beliefs then he should do the same
I was hoping that they would pretty-print keywords or symbols, so I could expose somekind of "clojure compatible Socket REPL" 😐
resembles clojure actually: http://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/language/api.html#id1
> A game among UNIX users, either to test the depth of an Emacs user's understanding of the editor or to poke fun at the complexity of Emacs, involved predicting what would happen if a user held down a modifier key (such as Ctrl or Alt) and typed their own name. This game humor originated with[39] users of the older TECO editor, which was the implementation basis, via macros, of the original Emacs.
