SEASON 3 LETZ GO! Thank you to sponsors: Clojurists Together, Nubank, Zane Shelby, Dustin Getz, Robert Randolph and superuser Hey Friends! We're back! email `heylilpodcast@gmail.com` if so inclined or you'd like to suggest a guest for this season. Summary: Hang out with me and my buddy David Nolen. We learn about his background in film and music, his interest in interactive media, and his journey into programming. We learn how and why he creates a musical environment at home. Plus the story on discovering Clojure and ClojureScript.He shares the challenges of maintaining an open-source project and we reflect on the masochistic nature of software development and the importance of experience in making pragmatic decisions. He expresses pride in his open source work and emphasizes the value of simplicity in tooling. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the balance between providing hand-holding and catering to experienced users. Keywords: film, music, interactive media, programming, performance, improvisation, teaching music, Clojure, ClojureScript, new media, Lisp, Clojure, ClojureScript, open-source, software development, experience, pragmatism, simplicity, tooling Produced by: L. Jordan Miller Intro & Outro track: "CrabbyPatties" by L. Jordan Miller

Richard talks with David Nolen, lead developer of ClojureScript, about the rituals that emerge in different programming communities, among many other topics!

David is back for our anniversary episode to chat about plenty of Clojure Script and projects - especially about https://github.com/vouch-opensource/krell Checkout https://github.com/swannodette and https://github.com/mfikes to sponsor David or Mike!

Nolen - It’s a lot of fun trying to learn new things and culture. One of the things I love is how (Kenyan) families take care of each other. That’s something I think the U.S. system should adopt. It’s so endearing to see how much patient families show up and are just there, take care of things, rally around each other. It’s something I love to see. There’s times when I see a patient in clinic and I’ll tell them you have a very complex problem. I can always fall back on, “Hey, why don’t come next time with your family?” And we’ll have a group discussion. Shirk - One of your big challenges is how to take care of Needy Patients, it sounds like many of your patients do have good family and support networks. But some don’t, and that can be hard, how to get them the care they need. Nolen - That touches on issues within this sphere of global health. We are on the fringe of healthcare with ENT otolaryngology. When people think of healthcare, most people think about maternal health, communicable diseases, cardiovascular disease. Here in east Africa, there are big minds thinking about how to take care of populations. And ENT isn’t a central focus of that nor should it be the central focus. But if you are dying of head and neck cancer, it’s important to you. If you are child with right-heart from adenotonsil hypertrophy, it’s important to you. And that’s true in any field of medicine. It a bit challenging because ministries of health, the surgeon general back home isn’t thinking “how can we alleviate nasal obstructions around the world?” But for patients having problems in our area, we want to help and treat them. I tell everyone back home when they ask what it’s like over there (In Kenya), it’s great, it’s really wonderful. The challenges are missing friends, family and Mexican food. . .and maybe college football. The not being close to family when kids are so little is the hardest part. The desire for them to know their grandparents, their aunts, uncles, cousins. When we are home they look at relatives like a stranger. We hope to help them know their roots, where they come from, and how loved they are. If God came down and said, " David, I’ll grant you one wish," knee jerk response is to be able to tele-transport. To teletransport friends and family here. On Sunday afternoons to have the kids be around their grandparents, their aunts and uncles. That would relieve 99% of the internal conflict in living away from the US. Shirk - Why is it worth the stress of being away from family, the financial sacrifice, to be here? Nolen - I think it’s seeing God. I see and experience God in real, tangible ways here. I don’t think I had to leave the US to experience that, but it is making an intentional choice to follow where you think God is leading. It’s hard sometimes and easy to think of physical and tangible things you "sacrificed." Seeing what He is doing in Kijabe. Hearing the stories of where this hospital started over a hundred years ago, the improbabilities of it being what it is today, seeing so many of my colleagues, what they are doing. . .witnessing these miraculous outcomes. Even yesterday I was giving exposure to an orthopaedic surgeon and neurosurgeon to the top of the spine through the mouth. The patient comes in barely able to move and he’s going to leave being able to walk. To me that’s just miraculous. Being part of that is really, really fun. It’s really compelling. It’s what draws me in and keeps me here. You see God move, you taste what God is about with his redemptive work.

Joy Clark talks with David Nolen about ClojureScript. David introduces the language and discusses the direction that the language is heading in. He talks about how the language is compiled to JavaScript and how it takes advantage of the the Google Closure Compiler. They then talk about designing user interfaces and how functional programming relates to UI design. To wrap up, David mentions different libraries and frameworks that can be used and recommends tools which can be used to get started programming with ClojureScript.

Episode 15 deep dives into the programming experiences of Adam Solove (@asolove), Head of Engineering at Pagemodo. Adam has spent the last ten years building web interfaces various technologies such as CGI, Flash, DHTML, RJS, jQuery, and many MVC JavaScript frameworks. Adam has found over his career that working with a more functional style of programming is much more rewarding in many ways.   Functional programming and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming) provides improvements in performance and purposely avoids changing-state and mutable data. This can be an extremely effective technique in web application development because of the stateful nature of DOM (Document Object Model) implementations in the browser. Adam evangelizes and works with several languages and tools to provide incredible functional style applications including, but not limited to, Elm, ClojureScript, OM, & React.js.   Facebook's React.js, met with mixed reviews when it was first released in 2013.  Since then it has been stirring up support in droves within the JavaScript development community do to it's high UI performance output in browsers. It's Virtual DOM and ways of solving data & DOM performance problems have been highly criticized but hard to ignore. React has an effective unorthodox way of thinking about UI.   Elm, a functional reactive language for interactive applications, combines core features of functional languages like immutability & type inference with FRP to Create highly interactive applications without callbacks or shared state. Elm is similar in syntax to Haskell and it compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that uses a Virtual DOM model similar in concepts to that of react.js. According to Elm's internal benchmarks, using it's compiled JavaScript code is actually faster than any JavaScript framework tested by a extreme margin.     ClojureScript, is a new compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript. It is designed to emit JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler. David Nolen, has taken ClojureScript and created an interface for react.js called OM. Om allows for simple represention of Web Application User Interfaces as an EDN. ClojureScript data is immutable data, which means that Om can always rapidly re-render the UI from the root.  According to the project description, UIs created with Om are inherently able to create & manage historical snapshots with no implementation complexity and little overhead.   Resources Why use Functional Style? - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36504/why-functional-languages Lambda: the ultimate syntax-semantics interface - http://okmij.org/ftp/gengo/NASSLLI10/ Haskell -http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell Adam Solove - http://adamsolove.com/ Adam's talk on ClojureScript/OM - http://adamsolove.com/js/clojure/2014/05/08/react-js-and-om.html Elm Elm's Virtual DOM - http://elm-lang.org/blog/Blazing-Fast-Html.elm Elm's Time Travelling Debugger - http://debug.elm-lang.org/ ClojureScript & OM ClojureScript Intro 2011 - http://clojure.com/blog/2011/07/22/introducing-clojurescript.html A feature comparison to JavaScript - http://himera.herokuapp.com/synonym.html David Nolen - https://twitter.com/swannodette/ David Nolen's Benchmarks - http://swannodette.github.io/2013/12/17/the-future-of-javascript-mvcs/ Todo MVC - https://github.com/swannodette/todomvc/tree/gh-pages/labs/architecture-examples/om/src/todomvc React.js   Reactjs - http://facebook.github.io/react/ Secrets of The Virtual DOM - http://fluentconf.com/fluent2014/public/schedule/detail/32395 React Demystified - React Diff Algorithm - http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2013/diff/
