-main

• Clojure 1.9.0 has been released! The Cognitect blog has the announcement, and there are some great release notes on GitHub.
• Alex Miller has an intriguing comment on HN: “There is more to the generative testing story that has not yet surfaced. We’ve got another whole project related to this that is still a work in progress. Even without that, I think there is a lot of value to be had in spec right now.”
• Zach Oakes on how Clojure’s documentation can leapfrog other languages + Reddit discussion
• I wrote a post on how to update your Clojure projects to Java 9
• A great article on making a faster Clojure reduce (for specific cases)

Libraries & Books.

• clj-embed is a Clojure library for segmenting multiple Clojure runtimes in a single JVM
• one-time is a One Time Password generation library. It looks ok, but you should always audit these kinds of libraries, ideally with someone experienced with cryptography.
• Fulcro (nee Untangled) has hit 2.0 and has made a fork from om.next.
• fulcro-inspect helps you debug Fulcro applications

People are worried about Types. ?

• Strong Typing is for people with Weak Memories

Tools.

• Bozhidar Batsov talked at ClojureX about the new release of CIDER and nREPL.
• Colin Fleming, author of Cursive has an AMA on Clojureverse right now (as I send this).
• Immutable names of things?

Recent Developments.

• CLJS-2377 - Moves away from modules deprecated in Java 9. This is fixed on master, but not in a release yet.

Learning.

• 3 Clojure conferences to attend this winter
• Conduit is a real-world re-frame app. It’s worth checking out if you’re looking for idioms of writing larger re-frame applications.
• ClojureX videos are up

Misc.

• TIL Clojure has local mutable variables (and they’re not dynamic vars or atoms)
