My X analytics is finally looking Green this week, thanks to everybody who interacted with me. It feels good to see this finally 😄 #smallwins

#squintcljs now compiles let bindings to 'const' and an implicit IIFE to an arrow function. Both changes help esbuild to optimize better. E.g. (let [x 1 y 2] (inc x y)) is optimized to just 1+2 by esbuild, whereas before it left the IIFE 'function' expression in place

Taquin Ho Clojure is deliberately designed as a hosted language. At the time of that presentation I think only the JVM hosted version existed. Today you can use it targeting NodeJS or the browser (which is my most common use case), for building cross-platform mobile apps (or more native…

I have got it down to ~1s. My problems was I had setup emacs-dashboard that would show projects, which loads projectile, and agenda items, which load org-mode

Configuring it to not show agendas made it faster. And not loading eMacs-dashboard made it even faster startup 🚀

Innovation is inevitable

What is your emacs startup time?

I recently rewrote my emacs setup using elapaca and use-package, now got it down from 12 seconds to 3 seconds with 152 packages ✨

Can it get better?
