Oh Clojure!
I am an ardent fan of the Functional programming paradigm, and in particular the Lisp family of languages. Clojure stands out in that list due to it being a modern and brilliant Lisp. It is one of the best ways to weed out accidental complexity (usually introduced by languages like Java) and worry about only the essential complexity of a problem. We are all indebted to Rich Hickey for creating Clojure, piggy-backing on the JVM, and later ClojureScript that targets JavaScript.
Setting up my Macbook development environment
Introduction
A blog post after 6 long years. Yay!
Recently I had to setup my personal Macbook and migrate some stuff from the previous machine.
In the past, I had written more in-depth posts about setting up my laptop for programming. What follows is the quick 2018 version for my future reference.
Let us get the ball rolling!
Basic Machine Setup
A. IR Black theme
Get IR Black theme for the Terminal. The link in that article to download the theme file doesn’t work anymore, and so we can Google to locate it.
Setting up my Linux box and Ruby on Rails - Ubuntu 12.04 Edition
Introduction
About a year ago, I had posted in depth about my love for Ruby, and how I set up my Linux box on Ubuntu 10.10, including how to set up Ruby on Rails in that environment.
Well the time has come for an update for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that came out during the last week of April.
Since I had written that previous post in such detail, I will just jot down the steps in this one. This is more for my reference, but may be it will be of use to someone as well. Also, that post came in quite handy during the current setup and so I hope I would refer back to this one as well in future.
