Stuart Halloway on Simplicity and Clojure

ClojureTV · Talk · YouTube title: Simplicity Ain't Easy - Stuart Halloway
Why it's here

HN commenters recommend it, alongside Rich Hickey's talk, for its precise definition of simple versus easy and its implications for code design.

What it covers

Stuart Halloway argues that simplicity is objective, with a definition and etymology useful to programmers, rather than a subjective buzzword. He shows how this view informs Clojure's design and how to make programs simpler.
