Clojurians Log v2

Morning from the tube

It’s still morning 😮 I’ve been working for hours

@gjnoonan: I was looking at toy Clojure projects at 6:30am before work does that count?

Been reviewing Java code this morning and got on my ‘soap box’ about inappropriate application of design patterns and over engineering a solution. Thought struck me that I’m sure my naive Clojure code falls into many of these traps but I don’t have a go-to text for design patterns! Anyone make any suggestions?

Surely that has to be http://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid= @agile_geek

@agile_geek: you can always go to the source http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AreDesignPatternsMissingLanguageFeatures

(I'm always surpised when people don't know about the Portland Patterns Repository and the birthplace of the wiki)

@agile_geek: and this from Stu Sierra http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Clojure-Design-Patterns

and a fair number of the articles here (many from Neal Ford) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/views/java/libraryview.jsp?search_by=functional+thinking:

@gjnoonan: got both of those on my bookshelf (GoF since mid 90’s I think).

@otfrom: I was trained as a mainframe programmer mate, wiki’s didn’t exist when I went to Uni and I am self taught (languages, patterns, process, you name it!) since then so bound to have missed stuff! Looks like what I need to read tho. Given I’ve been looking around for this kind of thing for 18 months surprised I didn’t find it sooner!

going back to 1995 isn't bad, but yeah, you are really old @agile_geek

@otfrom go back another 10 years! 😉

but c2 is pretty central to the history of agile too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis#Tensions_within_WikiWikiWeb_and_the_creation_of_sister_sites

so if you are going to hold on to half of your moniker... 😉

@otfrom: happy to be just a 'geek'. Anyway, I took Lean approach to Agile and learned and applied what i needed to to get job done. :-p

I check my nrepl server buffer so much with Cider, considering a keybinding to take me there quickly

have you seen this @jonpither : https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/1122

havent seen it

the problem that is
