I still love my IDEA & Rider, but a lot of my attention has moved to VSCode with Claude Code plugin. The Claude plugin/tooling for these IDE's is abysmal in comparison (talking strictly about the Claude Code experience here - not the bundlende AI Assistant.

I am not moving away from JetBrains anytime soon, but it does gets harder to justify when I spend considerable time in a competing offering that has better experience and is free...

Just recently discovered the author, Anthony Green. Floored and inspired by his productivity and scope of projects!

I enjoyed reading up on his fiber implementation and dabbling with the Java compiler/runtime integration.

Kudos Anthony - you make the world a more interesting place ;-)

Very nice and approachable! Almost makes me want to come back to assembly again ;-)

Agree completely - so much I just had to echo your observations ;-)

I love the aesthetics and simplicity at display here. Very functional and just the right amount of information. Kudos to the Busy Status Bar team from here as well!!

I found this talk to be the single most influential on my way of thinking of all my years on trying to absorb knowledge from the net. Very recommendable no matter your favorite language - I love that the concepts are applicable to a wide range of situations.

This has led me to his other talks which are heads and shoulders over most comparable content. I have learned more and found more enjoyment & enlightenment in the line of thinking he presents than the alternatives. Not shitting on anyone, just giving credit where credit is due. If you are open and willing to learn and come from a "traditional" background I think you will have your mind expanded like me.

Thank you Rich! ;-)

If nothing else, I am grateful for the introduction to Selah Sue (music that plays when you press, well.. the play symbol in the top animation).

Spectacular vibe! Combined with the fullscreen animation is almost reminiscent of the demo-scene. I enjoyed the rest of the actual web page much more after that.

I salute thee whoever made this. Much appreciated!

I spent some good quality time in this document.

Pure joy to interact and learn from resources such as these. Amit Patel - thank you if you ever read this!

Not sure I can give an ELI5 explanation, but for me this the closest to what you are after in two short videos on the topic. At least they helped me get up to speed fast.

Hope they will do the same for you ;-)

In that case - please have more fun ;-)

Thank you - I really enjoyed the flashback to my childhood you provided me just now!

> I've heard the creator of Clojure all but say he has put no thought into package management. Nice language, but it's not worth the cost of having to change how the rest of us work when there's existing environments that address the very basics that a developer needs.

Clojure relies on maven for this. Maven is a pretty accomplished package manager in the Java ecosystem. If Rich Hickey said that I assume he meant that he did not _have_ to invent a package manager as it comes for free from the underlying system.

Amazing! Can't wait to try it ;-)

Wow. That was pretty convincing. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed Baggers videos.

The interactive experience is amazing, was a fun "sideways" way of looking at graphics programming from what I was used to. Cudos for bringing back fun in exploratory programming mr Baggers, you made me a fan! :-)

Your original document was the quintessential resource for me in the 90s. Heartfelt thank you for putting me on track back then. Highly appreciated!

I really enjoy your work. I bought your book recently and appreciate your approach of building an understanding of the library based on "first principles". Really appreciate this performant and elegant option for working with deep-learning in Clojure - Thank you!

Clojure, Fulcro and Kafka Streams.

All 3 are a mind expansion coming from other tech. Cannot recommend them enough :-)

It looks very cool and also very familiar. I used to work with the tech that turned into CREY (https://www.playcrey.com/), and this seems to be in the same vein. CREY might be interesting for anyone who wants to check out comparable offerings.
