Clojurians Log v2

Morning, on the way to become a Rapid Developer..

mendix?

Morning

That's the first time I couldn't find a wiki page for a programming language

Some sort of language for robotics?

I think it's some kind of "4gl" language

Had to Google that too

😅

I see mendix has a section on their website about how they are different from 4gl... A colleague of mine like this "model driven" stuff, but it makes me feel kind of tired

I may be oversimplifying but often I feel these frameworks generate a lot of bloat that could be solved with a couple of Clojure macros :P Or better avoided altogether like ORM

I have never worked with it so it's totally unfounded

it generates code, but you normally don't have to deal with the code directly

they have a fancy visual editor around all this

i never used it, but i have a lot of colleagues who use Mendix a lot

morning

Yes, but going develop for Mendix, not with Mendix, but it helps to know how it's used.

I guess it has it uses, as long as you know the limitations, and don't start working around them. It's also about the process around code, and let you easily share bits within a company or everyone.

ah ok, the company i'm working for was just acquired by Mendix

will you be working on kafka related stuff?
