I want to get into the Kotlin community to accelerate my learning. Where should I go? Well, this was handy, https://kotlinlang.org/community/. I went through each of these resources. Unless stated oth
We're switching from Clojure to Kotlin at work. Is that good? I don't know yet! Here are some things I love about Clojure: its incredible REPL EDN keywords maps with heterogeneous keys and values

Imagine rows of letters, numbers, and Greek letters: [[:a :b] [:1 :2] [:alpha :beta]] Now, you want to transpose them. You started with a vector of vectors. Clojure's map function is pretty amazing

I consider myself a classically trained computer scientist. However, I don’t regularly practice implementing algorithms at home. I hope to do more of that! At work, I do much higher level things, like partnering with a product manager, establishing a...

My son asked me if I could make the computer double numbers, like 2 4 6 → 22 44 66 I started with a really ugly solution: (map (fn [x] (parse-long (clojure.string/join "" [(str x) (str x)]))) [2 4 6]) ;;=> (22 4...
