Notes.

It’s a lovely sunny day here in Auckland. I hope you’re enjoying summer if you’re in the southern hemisphere, and keeping warm if you’re in the north.

• Evolving user interfaces with re-learn

Libraries & Books.

• Mach is a remake of make in ClojureScript
• Tire-iron brings the reloaded workflow to ClojureScript
• Dirac has reached 1.0.0 and one year old. I use Dirac heavily for the inline REPL in Chrome devtools and debugging at breakpoints. I highly recommend looking at if if you do ClojureScript development.
• Ring 1.5.1 released to fix a path traversal vulnerability
• Pedestal 0.5.2 has some bug fixes and security updates for the path traversal vulnerability too
• Immutant 2.1.6 was also released

People are worried about Types. ?

• Fogus on clojure.spec and why s/or exists

Foundations.

• Why does the JVM have a maximum inline depth?

Tools.

• crop: internal tools worth opening

Learning.

• Clojure/West cfp and ticket sales are now open
• Reagent deep-dive, part 1

Misc.

“I want you to imagine you live in a world where everyone plays Chess against everyone else. … The oddest part of this however is that no-one in this world has actually seen a Chessboard. … Unbeknownst to either player, there is actually a board and when they press a piece then a piece of that type is randomly selected. … But all of this is hidden from the players, they don’t know any of this exists, they have no concept there is a board … all they see is the control panel and the sequence of presses.”
