A developer shares a practical workflow for LLM-assisted development, describing how to manage models like DeepSeek to reliably produce useful code. The author notes that LLMs excel at boilerplate tas…
Freshcode, a software development company, compared building LLM agents in Python, Clojure, and Elixir, finding that while Python offers mature frameworks like LangChain, functional languages provide …
A new analysis by Dan Luu challenges the claim that token-efficient languages like Clojure and J are better for AI coding agents. Luu found that on real-world tasks, popular languages like Python and …
Dan Luu's large-scale evaluations show that the token-efficiency advantage of terse programming languages for AI coding agents largely disappears on real tasks, contradicting a widely cited claim. In …
A widely cited analysis by Martin Alderson comparing token efficiency across programming languages found a 2.6x gap between C (least efficient) and Clojure (most efficient), with J averaging 70 tokens…
A widely cited blog post by Martin Alderson claims dynamically typed languages are more token-efficient for LLMs, with Clojure at 109 tokens and J at 70 tokens versus C's 2.6x higher cost, but a new a…
Eduardo Bellani argues that deep knowledge of programming languages remains essential in the age of AI-assisted coding because languages embody fundamental ideas about structuring thought and managing…
Datalevin 1.0.0, an open-source fact-first database, has been released after six years of development, offering a unified system for relational queries, graph traversal, logical reasoning, document ac…
Sheaf, a new functional language for differentiable computation, brings Clojure's code-as-data paradigm to machine learning by representing models as inspectable, composable, and compiled data structu…
Two hiring managers at Helpshift, a Clojure-based startup, bypassed the classic Secretary Problem by allowing rejected applicants to reapply after a cooling-off period and offering opt-in training in …
Hacktron researchers discovered critical vulnerabilities in Metabase Cloud that could have allowed attackers to compromise all cloud tenants. By exploiting flaws in H2 database connection handling and…
Glojure, an open-source interpreter for Clojure hosted on Go, enables seamless bi-directional interop between the two languages, allowing developers to use Go libraries directly from Clojure code and …
A developer ported a C stress test to Clojure and achieved near-parity performance (0.86 ms vs 0.70 ms per frame) by using the JVM Vector API, static final species references, macros, and JDK 25, demo…
A developer built an autonomous content pipeline that uses Hermes Agent to research trending topics, generate SEO-optimized outlines, and write publish-ready blog articles without human intervention. …
A developer has created eval-app, a tool that connects to a running Clojure application's nREPL to evaluate code for inspecting app state, querying databases, or debugging issues. The tool accepts Clo…
Software architecture pattern for embedding the Phel language (a Lisp dialect that compiles to PHP) into a Symfony project, where Phel owns the routing, business logic, and handlers while Symfony is r…
