A profile is defined for a user named lagénorhynque who is interested in programming languages, linguistics, law, politics, and mathematics. They are fluent in several languages including French and Russian. The document also discusses forming effective teams by focusing on communication, clear responsibilities, flexibility, addressing issues promptly, and continual learning and improvement.
This document defines a macro called my_macro in Clojure that takes a predicate and list of arguments and conditionally executes the arguments if the predicate returns true. It demonstrates calling my_macro with (= 1 2) which returns false and doesn't print "hello", but with (= 1 1) which returns true and prints "hello". It also shows compiling my_macro into a function that can be called directly later.
This document provides information about various languages including their linguistic classification, typology, word order, writing systems, and examples sentences. It compares the structures of English, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish by noting their language family, typical word order, and how a similar sentence requesting a glass of white wine would be expressed in each.
This document discusses the concept of "simple" and "easy" as it relates to programming languages and Clojure in particular. It explores the differences between concepts that are simple versus complex, and easy versus hard. It provides examples of how Clojure aims to make programming simple by avoiding unnecessary complexity through choices like immutable data and avoiding side effects.
1. The document introduces a Clojurian named lagénorhynque who is interested in programming languages like Clojure, Haskell, and functional programming.
2. It describes lagénorhynque's contributions to Clojure projects on GitHub and creating Clojure bots for Slack.
3. The Clojurian aims to expand the "Land of Clojure" and has given many talks in Japan about Clojure, functional programming, and spec to help develop the Clojure community.
This document compares and contrasts Clojure and Elixir programming languages. It provides an overview of their origins, syntax, concurrency models, macro systems, and further reading recommendations. Key points include Clojure running on the JVM while Elixir runs on the BEAM VM, both having Lisp-like syntax with differences in collection types, and both supporting metaprogramming through macros while having different macro expansion approaches.
This document describes how to build a GraphQL API in Clojure using Duct, Pedestal, and Lacinia. It discusses project structure using Duct, implementing the API server with Pedestal, and using Lacinia for the GraphQL implementation. It provides an example GraphQL API for a fictional anime club database, showing the GraphQL schema, sample queries and responses, and how the resolvers interface with the database boundary.
