Clojure Community Values

For no particular reason I got to thinking about things the Clojure community values in the style of the Agile manifesto, that is "we value ___ over ___" with the caveat that we may find both valuable, but one more than the other. This survey is not serious, or important, or binding. Maybe the results will be useless but perhaps they will be interesting. Blatant commercial: if you want to discuss, why not check out Clojure/West in San Jose, Mar 16-17 (http://clojurewest.org), early bird registration ends hmmm today!

Code over ideas
Thinking over tests
Data over interfaces
Values over variables
Public over private
Accessibility over encapsulation
Simple over easy
Eggs over easy

Bug report: there's no "don't know", "can't decide", or "they're
equal" type of option. And it won't let you leave any blank either.

I appreciate the intent, Alex, but I am reluctant to say what "we" value, since "we" on this list alone is nearly six thousand people.

*I* value most of these things, but I'm not going to try to speak for anyone else. I've learned that lesson the hard way.

A healthy mix of course! There even has been some research on the
second point. It turned out that unit tests and code review (=~
thinking) catch largely disjoint sets of bugs.

Other than that, you need to randomize X over Y vs Y over X in order
to get sound results.

And I think the questions are deliberately loaded :)

There's nothing wrong with getting deliberately loaded.
