Failed Experiments
Personal blog · failex.blogspot.comprogramming
Failed Experiments is a personal blog at failex.blogspot.com about programming. Since 2013, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Personal blog with posts such as "Why I am so excited about Clojure" and a Haskell-related post. One commenter lists the blog among Haskell learning resources.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
a Mr. Fleming wishes to study bugs in smelly cheese; a Polish woman wishes to sift through tons of Central African ore to find minute quantities of a substance she says will glow in the dark; a Mr. Kepler wants to hear the songs the planets sing.
What Hacker News says?
Clojure is one of the best documented languages, bookwise, especially the ones from Pragmatic, 2 from OReilly and 2 from Manning(Joy of, especially). (4) it's full of very reasoned data structures and designs, like, e.g. HAMT, transients. You can write dense/nested functions, and people do, and yes, other people have problems with it, see https://olabini.com/blog/2012/08/6-months-with-clojure/ (5) Being a haskeller/…
