Re:Free coding exercises for budding gophers (2017) on Tuesday March 29, 2022 @03:01PM (#30846910)
Super useful exercises, very practical. I can definitely see myself doing some of the paid courses if I'm focused on Go at work longer-term.
Re:Axes of Quality on Wednesday January 15, 2020 @03:27PM (#22058105)
Yep, fair, "axes" / "dimensions" was overstating - they're not all actually all orthogonal (all models are wrong, some useful, etc.). Mature engineering discussions have plenty of examples of those tensions, e.g. is it more important for this system to be available or consistent?
Re:Learn Clojure with Clojure Koans on Sunday December 30, 2012 @10:48PM (#4988301)
Right, this needed to be cleaned up and clarified. The only thing you have to do is `lein koan run`, which was listed as an option but the ordering was confusing. I've reworked it a bit now, but feel free to open an issue/PR if things are still hazy: https://github.com/functional-koans/clojure-koans-web

Yeah, I hear you. There's definitely room for improvement here. I'm not sure what you mean by not greppable - the file is listed, as is the name of the particular koan. If there's a way to get line numbers displayed here that would be great.

I agree it does make it easier to solve when you can see what you're trying to evaluate to. It was actually a conscious decision to make that not be the case, because it seemed too easy to just fill in the blanks without thinking about what should go there.

I hope it was because of this: http://gosu-lang.org/comparison.shtml
