I tried to look for the thread on the emacs-devel archive, and couldn't find it. Is it not archived for some reason?

I believe Borkdude showed it was possible by first implementing async/await in Squint, his alternative* implementation of ClojureScript, and then took those learnings to the core CLJS compiler.

If your inbox is as big as mine, you won’t be able to load all the text content into a prompt even with SotA cloud hosted models.

Instead you should give it tools to search over the mailbox for terms, labels, addresses, etc. so that the model can do fine grained filters based on the query, read the relevant emails it finds, then answer the question.

Would buy this in a heartbeat (pun intended) if it came with a heart rate monitor.

I had the first Pebble Time Round and it's my favorite smart watch I've ever owned, but these days the things I want from a watch are to tell the time and collect biometrics. Taking a step back in biometrics feels like a bummer. I also totally buy that it would increase the foot print in a way that would feel way less slim.

It's incredibly common for Lisps. Check out Parinfer or Paredit - it makes Clojure and other Lisps a real joy to write IMO.

In fact, I would say that if ClojureScript's interop with React Native could be made to be much smoother, that would be a real killer app.

As a JS developer using CLJS in my spare time, I've found that once I got my project setup with figwheel and everything, I can pretty much ignore the JVM. The moment that "classpath" is mentioned I usually try to find another way, though.

As someone who chose ClojureScript over many of the other compile-to-JS languages without using Clojure on the server, I disagree.

Especially if ClojureScript could become more attractive than (or at least have a real solid standing amongst) Elm/PureScript/etc., I could see that being a big boon to Clojure development as well.

Erlang/Elixir also is immutable & persistent by default.

As someone who writes JavaScript for a living (among bits of Java and Swift), I'm loving ClojureScript. I'm currently building a side project with it. But I am still a bit skittish of Clojure (JVM). The JVM just feels slow and cumbersome compared to what I'm used to (Node.js, Erlang/Elixir, Python). The lack of good error messages is manageable when combined with figwheel on the CLJS side, but there doesn't seem to be something comparable on the server side.

I feel like Clojure needs a really good use case or story to have it become more popular. It feels really nice to program in, it's just that for specific needs - native UI programming, CLI apps, concurrent programming, data processing, web programming - other languages are better in those areas, and are good enough in other areas, that Clojure just doesn't seem compelling.

I think that Elixir's (which is really the same story as Ruby's) success is worth looking at. Elixir is really cool, but it's main hype train really doesn't have anything to do with it's technical strengths (concurrent programming) - it just has a really compelling web development story through Phoenix.
