Very nice job, it'd be great if the links in the comments are actual links so we can navigate them.

They are playing dirty.
Re:ClojureScript Gets Async/Await on Friday May 08, 2026 @08:02AM (#48061871)
The beauty of Clojure/Lisp is that we have a nice macro system. Over the years, people created their own macros to simulate async/await. This is a powerful feature of Lisp, you don’t have to wait for an official release, you can just add that feature to the language yourself. Now we don’t have to use that custom macro anymore, which basically did the same thing.
People call him Scam Altman for a reason.
Re:Data Manipulation in Clojure Compared to R and Python on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @02:55PM (#47507458)
I’ve built many different kinds of software (backend, frontend, 3D games, cli tools, code editor, and more) with Clojure and have been using it for over a decade now.

I can confidently say that, among the list I mentioned, it’s the best for data manipulation/transformation. Thanks to the author for presenting it clearly and showing how the libraries and code look across different languages, all of which do a great job.

But Clojure has its own special place (maybe in my heart as well :). I think Clojure should be used more in the data science space. Thanks to the JVM, it can be very performant (I’m looking at you, Python).

It is enjoyable if you are working on boring/enterprise software; it is not enjoyable when you are working on your own things.

I just fucking love this guy.

That's why I'll only read source code written until 2024.

It’s the journey, not the destination, but with AI it’s only the destination, and it takes all the joy.

Re:Immersa: Open-source Web-based 3D Presentation Tool on Saturday December 20, 2025 @04:35PM (#46339848)
Yes, sorry about that if it annoyed you. I was too busy to write a good human-sound readme. It was an old project, and I wanted to release it as open source as quickly as possible.
Re:Immersa: Open-source Web-based 3D Presentation Tool on Saturday December 20, 2025 @04:33PM (#46339828)
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Honestly, I don't know. It seemed pretty easy to do that way at that time. But I'd accept PRs that could improve the product.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) on Monday December 15, 2025 @07:42AM (#46273732)
Currently polishing my game, it's a 3D troll platformer. I published the initial demo on Steam last week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4224780/Reflex_Run/

I am using a very different tech stack for it. It is written in Clojure.

Re:If You're Going to Vibe Code, Why Not Do It in C? on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @12:03PM (#46220260)
Why not do it in Lisp? At least, it is cool.
Re:Handsdown one of the coolest 3D websites on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @11:38AM (#46219893)
It looks really nice, but CPU usage is almost 100% all the time. I have a MacBook Pro M3. When I open some fancy Three.js scenes that I found on the net, I instantly profile them. Most of them are really bad in terms of performance. I don't know why.

We need Rust alternative not written in Rust

Does this mean engineers of Google can't fix it?
Re:Comet Browser by Perplexity on Saturday July 12, 2025 @08:07AM (#44541497)
We just need a software that renders the f**ing html/css, that's all. Everyone please stop creating new browsers.
This is cool also BabylonJS has nice gaussian splat support as well: https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/mesh/gau...
Re:Clojuring the web application stack: Meditation One on Wednesday May 21, 2025 @05:53AM (#44049845)
Nope, please do a benchmark. It's almost saying Go is 5 times faster than Java.
Re:Chicory: A JVM native WebAssembly runtime on Tuesday February 25, 2025 @02:16PM (#43176068)
Can we use any JVM language, like Clojure?
