Unprecedented C++ interop from #clojure? With JIT compilation and small AOT executables? What is this magic? Take a look at my @clojure_conj talk to find out more about jank!

Platforms and library ecosystems become more important, not less, when people are writing code with LLMs. Clojure’s stability and simplicity give it a real opportunity here. But we have to promote it: docs and tooling that LLMs consume well, and more content showing Clojure alongside modern AI tools.

People who have been in research fields develop a felt sense that most "research" (in almost any field that isn't exactingly technical) is research theater, and many superstar careers enjoy star status not because of a unique connection to the truth but because of a unique connection with an audience. No one really has the time or stature to, from a position of objectivity and trust, bring popular researchers to heel. But it will get increasingly hard to hide from serious critique. The machines can do critique now, at the level of depth and rigor previously only possible for the academically deranged. We're going to have to revise a lot of what we "know" about the world that isn't really knowledge but is actually just received popular consensus - like floating voltages without grounding wires. The grounding wires are coming.
Tyler Cowen:
'I am not even sure what to say at this point. We need a radical revaluation of this work, and of the associated policy arguments. More generally, this is only a single step in the story of how AI is going to revise economic science, and indeed past research more in many of my recent talks, there will be significant gains and losses in status, with the losses often outweighing the gains. I see this as one of those cases.'

In case you are wondering what frontier models are capable of, Fable 5.1 ported Standard Clojure Style into pure C today during the kids naptime (about 2 hours). And it found a few bugs in the upstream implementation during the process 🫠

Hey @grok, in the last 7 days have there been any CVEs found in popular Clojure libraries? 🤔

The 'correctness' that matters most in software is "being compatible with or in agreement with something ELSE -- something OUTSIDE of what we're doing. This latter definition of 'correct' is really what you get paid to do."
So fundamental! Unpacks into so many things.

Sorry @dhh - this one is vibe coded using Elixir. Pages usually render in under 1ms! Too slow for our customers 😜😂

I just spent the last few days at Clojure/conj having dozens of conversations about this. People are standing under a hurricane and pretending like it’s a summer storm. This hurricane isn’t going away and will only get stronger. Brother, you will need more than an umbrella.
