Re: [ANN and RFC] Bifurcan: impure functional data strucures

Looks cool! I'm going to mine this for ideas and potentially use it. FWIW I've also been implementing some Java functional data structures for my language design experiments. If anyone is interested happy to share code, my own motivations were: - I wanted decent persistent Lists, Sets, Maps

Re: Clojure resume tips?

Hmm. I never really considered anyone would try to use them outside of just looking at the source code. You have made me second guess that. I definitely will consider adding ReadMes. Also thanks for the link. On Friday, March 24, 2017 at 12:36:36 AM UTC-4, James Gatannah wrote: > > To get back

Re: Clojure resume tips?

I might think that 30-40 hours for a sample is excessive. Honestly many candidates worry and or prepare for at least two hours for an interview. Then have around an hour round trip. They also might spend a full hour in an interview. With about four hours to replace or supplement an interview

Re: Clojure resume tips?

Thanks for the response Luke. You make a lot of good points. Thomas Ptacek's article was eye opening. The suggestion to ask the hiring manager if they would like a sample of me doing company related work for them is a good one. The networking tip is one I hear time and time again, but the more

Re: [ANN and RFC] Bifurcan: impure functional data strucures

To be clear, my intention was always to wrap the implementations in the appropriate Clojure interfaces, and I don't believe that will cause much, if any, of a performance hit (inlining is magic). However, there are some real questions regarding how to expose non-standard equality semantics, and

Re: [ANN and RFC] Bifurcan: impure functional data strucures

Stared at this a bit yesterday. Seems like if you want to leverage spec while using bifurcan, then the bifurcan types need to have the Clojure wrapper. The alternative appears to be re-implementing at least a large subset of collection-related spec code, which is a lot to bite off. Also tried
