It surprised me yesterday that the Amsterdam Clojure meetup is only so small after all these years. Like only 10 people or so.

borkdude 2016-05-19T08:44:19.000862Z

And most of the people there still use Java at their day job.

Maybe meetups are not really representative of the usage in real life. Earlier we already concluded that F# meetups are not that large and common either (none here in NL)

Argh, I change one type and I get one error. When I fix the error I get ten more errors. O wait, this is exactly the point of type checking right 😉

As the saying goes, new char, new error 😄

borkdude 2016-05-19T12:15:27.000866Z

new char?

sveri 2016-05-19T12:23:19.000867Z

new char = new character in source code, like, hey there is an error, I change something, ok, here is a different error

@borkdude: I hate these charts, what does bug density mean? For me it is not sufficiently labeled and open to interpretation
