having separate instances sucks ass. different rules and content policies and technical decisions (custom emoji, post length, etc), inter-instance drama, admins, longevity (lack thereof), all shit most people don't want to think about.

for example, i tried to add a friend from cohost on here, turns out my instance blocked him for reasons unknown. admin won't respond to my emails, so i guess that's that, not allowed to be friends with him anymore.

@chirpbirb@meow.social welcome to the club

aayyyyyyy i got a shout-out in alex miller's #clojure conj talk, design in practice in practice. that feels incredible.

@tati@kind.social welcome to the club. it's so so good

I've released v1.3.0 of my #clojure #bdd test framework Lazytest. It now supports extracting tests from markdown files:
```markdown
# Cool stuff is happening!
``clojure
(adder 5 6)
;; => 11
``
```
is treated as `(defdescribe test-12345 (it "Cool stuff is happening!" (expect (= 11 (adder 5 6)))))`

I hope to support cucumber tests soon as well.

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @plexus@toot.cat the compiler knows when it's executing a macro and disables those features? that's clever. i wish clojure had gone that way.

I'm less thrilled about it being written in a garbage collected language and there are some tradeoffs that are made there

Wanna speak more about this? Seems that unless you’re going to use a language with strong memory-safety guarantees (Rust), a GC’d language will be less prone to the classic C-style bugs (overflows, use-after-free, etc).

@amy@types.pl i love são paulo, beautiful city.

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @plexus@toot.cat How does Fennel handle it?

@Osmose@digipres.club sadly, i'm unsurprised.
