Ep 056: Opt-in Complexity
Manage episode 246790100 series 2463849
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."
