A place for people in the UK, near the UK, visiting the UK, planning to visit the UK or just vaguely interested to randomly chat about things (often vi and emacs, occasionally clojure). More general the #ldnclj

Most of our users still use IE11 :thisisfine:

@djm_uk Luckily, we can choose to not support Internet Explorer but I know corporate-targeted apps still have to support it.

it was an interesting conversation about the various http server alternatives and the state of aleph and zach. i wonder what is he programming in nowadays... what's your take on pedestal and - in general - interceptors vs middlewares?

I think he's doing scala at Microsoft

I haven't used Pedestal so I'll be interested to hear people's opinions on that.

I do like pedestal, its just enough familiarity, coming from a java background

the aleph deferred/manifold stuff drives me up the wall because effectively every function call runs in its own thread, making stack traces very unhelpful

I imagine it gets you into the right mindset for hard-core microservices
2020-07-27T08:01:54.227300Z
perhaps that is what I am resisting

One downside that's bothered me a lot: it's really hard to follow the dynamic stack manipulation that's happening. That's what interceptors essentially are after all. Reifying the stack into your application and allowing you to manipulate it.
