it is indeed a great teacher but there are times where it hallucinates and sticks to the hallucinated content even after several iteration unless human in the loop breaks it. i've wasted hours believing what LLM hallucinated.

my learnings are a lot of microdoses of things that I usually don't work on in a day to day so i don't want to spend time reading about it but yes this sort of learning would be otherwise impossible so gotta thank LLM for that.

I've read somewhere that because of these getter setter patterns, JVM authors had to optimise their JIT to detect and inline those.

Dynamic classes cannot be GC'd without the classloader being dereferenced. In this case, if eval used an existing classloader we would end up exhausting metaspace and leading to MaxPermGen exception.

Initial Clojure implementation was checking for an already created classloader and tried to reuse. They had commented out the code that was doing it.

New comment by whiteros_e in "Ask HN: Are there any companies that moved away from Clojure?"

The platform was written in Clojure from ground up since the team was small and rest of the company was using Clojure mostly in combination of Java.

Now most of the company moved out of Clojure for various reasons but they didn't try to write performant code and instead just chose to rewrite which I want to avoid. Try as much as possible before deciding to rewrite since rewrite is expensive given the codebase has lot of things.

I am glad, it's not Java though.

What did you replace it with?

Lack of documentation around performance related stuff and high memory usage because of immutable data structure.

Otherwise it's great. I try to do it in my free time since most of the clojure services are stable(in terms of features) and we are just scaling it up as we see increase in traffic but it's not really helping right now.

Not convincing. We are fighting it, so wondering if there is anyone who tried all the options but gave up at the end eventually.

Ask HN: Are there any companies that moved away from Clojure?

whiteros_e — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 16:43:35 +0000

Hello all. As the title says, just want to know if there are any companies that moved away from Clojure due to any reasons and if yes, what was the reason and what was the new choice?
