In the vein of mmullis' suggestion, I've successfully used Emacs batch mode to reformat huge Runa code bases. I blogged about it here: http://www.lispplusplus.com/2013/10/mass-clojure-file-format...

I wonder if there's some way to combine schema, core.typed and clj-schema in some way that is better than the sum of its parts. (https://github.com/runa-dev/clj-schema)

I regrettably haven't had much time to see where the cross-section between these libraries is exactly, being very occupied at work. But I'd rather work on one grand thing, than end up with disparate libraries that aren't as fully-featured.

It's gotta be the hair.

Just like English is soooo much more readable than German, because well, I don't know German :)

I found the Python more readable even though I have written programs in Clojure and never written programs in Python. In fact I'd be willing to bet that Python-like syntax would be found to be more readable than Lisp-like syntax for programmers with N years of experience in that language, if such a study could be conducted. (ie, I'd bet that an average programmer with 5 years of Python experience and nothing else can correctly read programs faster than an average programmer with 5 years of Clojure experience and nothing else (not that the latter exists)).

True, but for instance I know neither Python nor Clojure, and yet Python looks more accessible on first glance - even though I have some experience with other LISPs.

I know Common Lisp well, thanks. Only dabbled with Clojure.

Adding type hints to the relevant spots in the Clojure code might have helped him in terms of performance.

Very cool stuff. I'm very interested in hearing more about how this conference (which I have every confidence will be really great) will complement the Conj.
