The reason behind this is that since Clojure is data-oriented, API interfaces are clear, minimal and self-documenting. With object orientation or anything that relies on datatypes, I always end up browsing docs looking for what's possible to do with the given list of methods. Never in Clojure.
I wouldn't mind paying someone 3 times as much if its expertise in the given language means he can be 10x more productive than an average programmer in an average context. (I personally have measured a 30x incrase in productivity by switching from ruby to clojure and have observed the same phenomenon with other people).
Also, a few months ago, an article was shared on HN explaining how dogs are able to detect heat with their nose. And this makes sense too: whenever I shower, my dog starts sniffing and scratching walls near the shower stall, where the pipe is.
I bet she could sense a rat hidden inside a wall or in the ground. Predator™.
A swarm of non lethal drones equipped with 3D/depth cameras that collaborate in order to establish a dynamic 3D map of the terrain. A user consuming data from the swarm would enjoy a live "God's view" on what actually happens in reality, but through a 3D view displayed on a screen, very much like in Starcraft but without an artificial "fog of war".
This isn't a weapon of mass destruction nor a weapon in the classical meaning of the word.
But is this a weapon system, i.e. a system meant to ensure or enhance a weapon's function, such as targeting and guidance ?
What are those unconventional approaches ?
