Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [email protected], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Opt-In Complexity" We discuss complexity and try to come up with a simple explanation for why Clojurians avoid it so ruthlessly.

Selected quotes:

  • "Abstraction: the thing that creates more complexity while making you feel like you have less."
  • "Clojure people seem to be allergic to complexity."
  • "Frameworks are the breeding ground for complexity."
  • "Complexity is the enemy of long lived code bases."
  • "Each part of the application is in its own vault of isolation, and they only get to come together and interact in the lobby."
  • "You can't be afraid of something that hasn't scared you yet."
  • "It's very difficult to say no once you've said yes."
