related talk: "Simple made easy" on InfoQ

[Mark Pawelek]

No. Please watch "Simple made Easy" - the first one from Strange Loop 2011 - it's on infoq. The so-called hostility is actually humor. If you have no sense of humor, I guess you'll see all of Rich's comments on the mainstream as "hostile".

[kinkokonko]

worked it out now. none of you actually code. you are just twats just pissing about with perl and stubled on a clojure webcast and thought you found god.

sorry to piss on your fire works but ,,, ye fked

[kinkokonko]

Thanks. Can you keep posting Clojure Jobs here? i.e None

They will fit in 500 words ( or 1 per word your brain cell )

[Dan Neumann]

Thanks for the update from the year 1992.

[kinkokonko]

I find it very amusing the my comment was flagged based on its objectivity to the subject,

I wish Clojure the best of luck, It does very much need it.

My comments are still fact, Clojure is going no where because its based on an ideal that has never seen the light of day in 50 years, Bit like Haskell. Ideas with no pragmatism or realism

I will code Java for the next 20 years and I expect you and many others will

[David Douglas]

My friend on Rich: "we're gonna have to put his ass to work on the twitter backend"

[David Douglas]

With a name like Rich Hickey, one can't help but be a linguist.

[Dan Neumann]

Lisp adoption? Not writing classes because Hickey says not to? Concurrency?

Sounds like you're complecting this simple video with some personal baggage.
