A Review of Paul Graham's Bel, Chris Granger's Eve, and a Silly VR Rant

Hello Friends,

This elf begging to climb onto the web for Christmas began as a personal email, a review of Paul Graham's little Lisp Bel. He sprouted arms, legs, and in gingerstyle ran away. Arms for symbols, legs for conses: these primitives are the mark a Lisp — even more so than the parenthesis. What do we get when we remove these foundation stones: naming and pairing?

No pairs. No cons. No structure. Unordered. Chaos. Eve, a beautifully incomplete aspect oriented triple store. No need for legs when you can effortlessly transport to your destination. Lazy. Pure. Here and now, a retrospective.

No symbols. No names. No variables. Combinators. Forth. No need for arms when you can effortlessly push and pop your stack. No words. A world without words. Virtual worlds. Virtual reality. Space. Time. Motion. Action. Kinetic Programming, a proposal.

I apologize in advance. Checking my pocketwatch, I see I haven't t

useLayoutEffect and server rendering

If you use server rendering, keep in mind that neither useLayoutEffect nor useEffect can run until the JavaScript is downloaded.

You might see a warning if you try to useLayoutEffect on the server. Here's two common ways to fix it.

Option 1: Convert to useEffect

If this effect isn't important for first render (i.e. if the UI still looks valid before it runs), then useEffect instead.

Contributing to Clojure

So you’d like to contribute to Clojure, great! Let’s talk about what that involves.

The first thing you’ll want to make sure is that your idea is valid, and that you won’t spend a ton of time working on something that won’t make into master. To do this, you should create a JIRA ticket. For example, let’s say we want to improve how core.async handles channel closing propagation. It’s not a super complex problem, but there are some design questions about which of the various semantics currently in place should be the default, and if some semantics should be configurable.

So start by making a JIRA ticket and stating what the problem is you’re trying to solve, what the possible options for solving the problem. Now hit save and wait for the ticket to be triaged. Alex Miller will take a look when he can, and that can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the time of the year (he has other responsibilities). Alex may out-right reject the idea if he knows Rich would never approve the ticket, but otherwise h

Package ClojureScript in a Native EXE
# Update: This micro-blog is now also a guide on clojurescript.org:
# http://clojurescript.org/guides/native-executables
# Hello! This is a micro-post about how to produce native executables
# from ClojureScript source. The basic idea is to produce a
# JavaScript file using the ClojureScript compiler, and then use a
# Node.js tool called nexe (https://github.com/jaredallard/nexe) to
# compile that into an executable. The resulting file can be run
# without requiring a node install on the target machine, which can
# be handy.
// 1. 打開 Slack 網頁版
// 2. 開啟需要備份的對話視窗,包含 Direct Message 或 Channel 都可以
// 3. 打開 Chrome Dev Tools 的 Console
// 4. 複製貼上以下程式碼
// 5. 執行 JS 並輸出歷史訊息
// 6. 換下一個 Channel 繼續備份
// 7. 重複第4個步驟
// PS. 輸出到 Console 的歷史訊息,可以透過在空白處按右鍵 -> Save as ,另存成文字檔

Redux with reduced boilerplate

Note

I would recommend @acdlite's redux-actions over the methods suggested in this Gist.

The methods below can break hot-reloading and don't support Promise-based actions.

Even though 'redux-actions' still uses constants, I've come to terms with the fact that constants can be good, especially in bigger projects. You can reduce boilerplate in different places, as described in the redux docs here: http://gaearon.github.io/redux/docs/recipes/ReducingBoilerplate.html
