    Let’s talk languages

12. 12.

    PHP from the outside • Javas little brother • Death

    by boilerplate
13. 13.

    JS from the outside • Callback hell • Many solutions

    to one problem • So many small libraries
14. 14.

    Python from the outside • Getting things done • BIG

    libraries/frameworks
15. 15.

    Dart from the outside • Modern (built from scratch) •

    Async by default • Small ecosystem
16. 16.

    Clojure from the outside • Done is better than perfect

    • First “useable” functional language for me • Libraries, not frameworks
17. 17.

    Learn from each other

    Learn from Python Readability: if variable is not null: doSomething()

    else: doSomethingElse()
19. 19.

    Learn from Python Readability: with open(file.txt', 'w') as file: file.write(Hello

    ViennaPHP!')

    Learn from Clojure Composability: (defn function1 [var1 var2] (str var1

    ″ - ″ var2))
24. 24.

    Learn from Clojure Composability: (defn function2 [var1] (println (function1 ″DEBUG″

    var1)))
25. 25.

    Learn from Clojure Syntax doesn’t matter: (defn function2 [var1] (println

    (function [] {:var1 (function2)})))
26. 26.

    Not only languages • Infrastructure (vagrant / docker) • Architecture

    (Microservices) • Methodology (Agile/Scrum/Kanban) • ...
