When is Clojure "the right tool for the job"?

My answer to: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/pcwypb/us_engineers_love_to_say_the_right_tool_for_the/ which asked to know when and at what is Clojure "the right tool for the job"?

My take is that in general, the right tool for the job actually doesn't matter that much when it comes to programming language.

There are only a few cases where the options of tools that can do a sufficiently good job at the task become limited.

That's why they are called: General-purpose programming languages, because they can be used generally for most use cases without issues.

Let's look at some of the dimensions that make a difference and what I think of Clojure for them:

Once in a while, you may need to cleanup resources (containers, volumes, images, networks) ...

delete volumes

// see: https://github.com/chadoe/docker-cleanup-volumes

Notes on opportune moments to do "stuff" in the Android Lifecycle
  • In general you want to try and put things in onStart and onStop for logical start and stops.

Activity

onCreate

  • Dagger inject self into graph
  • setContentView(R.layout.xxx)
  • Butterknife.bind(this)
  • RxJava CompositeSubscription.add (if NON UI related work being done)
  • realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();

Debug PHP in Docker with PHPStorm and Xdebug

Debug your PHP in Docker with Intellij/PHPStorm and Xdebug

  1. For your local dev, create a Dockerfile that is based on your production image and simply install xdebug into it. Exemple:
FROM php:5

RUN yes | pecl install xdebug \
&& echo "zend_extension=$(find /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ -name xdebug.so)" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini \

Rough Notes about CQRS and ES

Rough Notes about CQRS and ES

Once upon a time…

I once took notes (almost sentence by sentence with not much editing) about the architectural design concepts - Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing (ES) - from a presentation of Greg Young and published it as a gist (with the times when a given sentence was heard).

I then found other summaries of the talk and the gist has since been growing up. See the revisions to know the changes and where they came from (aka the sources).

It seems inevitable to throw Domain Driven Design (DDD) in to the mix.
