cfleming: what's a bad problem for clojure that is a good problem for Go

roberto 2016-07-05T01:50:57.000091Z

I think systems programming is better suite for Go than clojure.

roberto 2016-07-05T01:51:21.000092Z

example: things like docker

roberto: what's a bad problem for Go that has a good solution in Clojure

roberto 2016-07-05T01:53:16.000094Z

docker

roberto 2016-07-05T01:53:19.000095Z

systems programming

roberto 2016-07-05T01:53:34.000097Z

an operating system

lewix 2016-07-05T01:53:43.000098Z

I see

roberto 2016-07-05T01:54:32.000099Z

i think there is something that compiles clojure to Go somewhere in github.

@lewix: Anything that cares about startup time, systems programming as roberto mentions, anything requiring lightweight threads

cfleming 2016-07-05T02:24:02.000101Z

Possibly anything requiring a large team, although that might be controversial.

lewix 2016-07-05T02:25:21.000102Z

cfleming: why a 'large team'

cfleming 2016-07-05T02:25:56.000103Z

Again controversial, but I think that static types help understanding code you’re not familiar with.

2016-07-05T06:54:55.000104Z

lewix: anything where startup time is a concern for any reason
