Have you heard the news? Virtual Threads implementation landed into JDK19 as a preview feature! Are you excited? No? You should be! It's an amazing addition to the Java platform. Note this article dis…
As a fan of functional programming and Clojure in particular, I've been thinking about how to articulate why I feel that languages like Java are so much harder to work with. This time I try to highlight some issues with data classes, which …
"Able and willing to help with this ticket?" a Senior Director slacked me. The ticket was simple. Find an internal field and expose it for the API. Ok, easy. This API was in a Clojure codebase I had b…
Where Lambda cold starts often get worse in other runtimes is when you start adding dependencies, particularly an AWS SDK dependency. Let's see how Rust fares with an S3 client dependency. Updating Ca…
Rust seems to be at the height of the hype cycle right now even among functional programming enthusiasts. Although it's not a true functional programming language, due to not having first-class suppor…
ClojureScript is still looking very promising, with init durations and durations nearly identical to JavaScript ones with the same dependencies and equivalent code. I've been itching to see what the n…
My last post has me wondering why there is so much difference between the warmed durations of ClojureScript and Clojure or JavaScript. I would have expected my implementation to be close to one or the…
To summarize my previous posts, it's looking like my suspicions that ClojureScript Lambdas are much faster to initialize, but slower after initialization than Clojure could be correct for more computa…
Things are looking really good for ClojureScript Lambdas over Clojure ones. From the results in my previous posts, the cold start times are way better and even just some basic code to list buckets fro…
Comparing the performance of ClojureScript vs Clojure Lambda got me wondering what the performance difference is between them and the comparable JavaScript and Java Lambda with the same dependencies a…
