WHY IS CLOJURE SO HIP NOW?

>>58792361
why no comments in code?

>>58792385
By definition all lisps are self documenting

>>58792398
But senpai, his code is python

>SO HIP
Means it's mostly used by irrelevant web fags and indie game hipsters.
Check...
Aaaaand it's true.

I'm new to CS (from math). Is there a big distinction between web developers and other "programmers"? Every CS course I've taken so far has not exposed me to anything about the web dev trends going on right now.

Well, you're not learning programming on university.
Anyhow, of course there are good web programmers as well. However, there are more beginners in the field and more faggots that seriously think you could build actual pleasant software on the browser stack, leading to abominations like electron.

I'm jelly if you're loaded with math knowledge. I'm studying integral Calculus and just now studying concepts you would apply in a for loop. I wish I knew some linear Algebra. I'm learning MATLAB and working a lot with arrays and vectors.

Generally most web developers get looked down upon because a lot of them don't have a CS background and while they know the syntax for they need to do web dev, they often lack the breadth of CS background that one needs to be a great software developer (such as understanding OS, CPU architecture, parallel/distributed, data structures and algorithms, programming language theory, networks, database theory etc).

I.e. you can't trust them to make architectural/design decisions. But if you come to web dev from a CS background then everything's good.

Because there's a lot of market in the JVM and languages on the JVM that aren't Java are nice. That said, Clojure is a pretty piss-poor lisp standing on its own.

Not if they use dynamic typing by default, though.

I'll take your word for it, anon: Where is much of the cancer compared to CL?

i'm trying to get into clojure and hopefully understand functional paradigm
maybe one day i'll ascend to wizard status and implement business rules in an elegant way instead of fat oop rule engines based on command pattern
