> Clojure is a dynamically typed language and always will be

I don't entirely agree with the "always will be," as Clojure is a very creative language that inspires a wide variety of experimentation, and core.typed is currently being actively worked on (as a PhD dissertation no less by the original author of core.typed), so there is ample room to think the future will offer good static typing abilities for Clojure.

Also, I find your response unnecessarily curt.

To me, core.spec has valid uses, but not as a replacement for static tying.

No, core.spec does not address the main issues with dynamic typing. It offers some neat stuff, but it is not a replacement for static typing.

I really like and use Clojure professionally, but I have become wary of the extraordinary time I spend dealing with runtime issues because of the dynamic typing. I hope the future of core.typed is bright. I know it is being very seriously worked on. It can't come soon enough for me. Nowadays, I prefer to write in any statically typed language even if it is more line counts, just for my own sanity.

They have been linked many times here on HN over the last 2 years.

Since FB got Instagram under the belt, it's no less annoying. On the mobile app, I've turned off all notifications, because why? If I want to check in on my Instagram apps, I'll open the app myself, thank you very much. No need to litter my screen with that stuff. But guess what? The app of course knows if you have notifications turned off, and there is no way whatsoever to get the app to stop bothering you about this when you open. Every time, it asks me why I don't have notifications turned on, and does so in a half-screen-sized banner that is obnoxious. No matter what I do, this never tops appearing until I turn on notifications again.

fascinating. never heard of doing something like this, though i use emacs all day long (but not org mode -- didn't even know org mode could do this).
