Notes.

The big news for last week, at least from my perspective, was launching Clojurists Together. This is a project designed to support open source Clojure software and keep it sustainable by paying maintainers. We’ve already had quite a few individuals sign up, but not too many companies yet. If you work at a company that uses Clojure, please consider signing your company up for a Company Membership.

-main

• Ramsey Nasser on the MAGIC compiler for Clojure and the CLR
• Clojure, EPL 2.0, and GPL compatibility

Libraries & Books.

• Compound is a micro structure for re-frame data

People are worried about Types. ?

• Following up from last weeks worrying on s/keys validations, Greg Mitchell gives his experience of using Protocol Buffers at Google
• Worried about types + Clojure Elitism

Foundations.

• Statistically rigorous Java performance evaluation
• Fear and Loathing in Lock-Free Programming
• Immer: persistent data structures for C++
• 2018 - 120fps and no jank

Tools.

• boot-tools-deps allows you to read deps.edn files
• Migrating from Boot and back to Leiningen
• Vim Clojure Tooling Redux

Recent Developments.

• ASYNC-119: Combines CLJS core.async macros namespace into main core.async namespace. ASYNC-142: Rename CLJS core.async namespaces to match Clojure ones. The combination of these two being resolved should make it a lot easier to write cross platform core.async code.

Learning.

• Clojure Dose, a daily dose of Clojure snippets from Clojurians Slack
• Get 40% off Mastering Clojure Macros from Pragmatic Press this weekend
