Do we need types in JavaScript? Or maybe not?

This is my lightning talk submission to ReactiveConf 2018 https://reactiveconf.com/

In this talk, I want to share my experience gained during the development of frontend applications in several programming languages.

I think it's not a secret for anybody that developing large JavaScript applications is not so easy as it seems at first glance. We all want something simpler and more reliable. Therefore, many developers and even entire companies switch to different, compiled in JavaScript, programming languages. The bulk of such transitions is accounted for TypeScript and flow, and often, developers faced with more problems than they were before.

I wasn't the exception. Moving to a new project, I started using TypeScript and was disappointed. Luckily in my next project I used ClojureScript and it was like everything is illuminated!

A curated collection of answers that Rich gave throughout the history of Clojure

Rich Already Answered That!

A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.

Clojure Destructuring Tutorial and Cheat Sheet

(Related blog post)

Simply put, destructuring in Clojure is a way extract values from a datastructure and bind them to symbols, without having to explicitly traverse the datstructure. It allows for elegant and concise Clojure code.
