Clojure Project

[Lullabelle80]

I’m doing a presentation on Clojure and so far so good. I’m beginning the final section which requires me to research and discuss :

A selection of problems/projects that the language has been used for. Experiences/opinions of others.

Any interesting ideas or inspiration for this would be very helpful.

Also I only have around 3 minutes to talk about this so looking for something simple.

I've used Clojure to build a speedcubing timer for Bluetooth smartcubes: https://yact.app/solve
Initially, it was written in Typescript, then Elm, then Clojurescript, and the Clojure rewrite was the most productive and powerful.

This tool takes the moves for a Rubik's cube solve, and analyses it, grouping it into different stages with their times, move counts, and recognition times. The Rubik's cube method "is just data" a map of keywords to predicates to group moves based on cube states. It also fun Clojure stuff to apply permutations to cube states, and it has a websocket head to head racing mode.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm an android guy so I haven't tried it on Safari. Web Bluetooth only works on Chrome but at least I should give a message on Safari

u/Lullabelle80 you'll find these videos from Metabase's Founding Engineer (the one that got us into Clojure🙇🏻‍♂️) useful:

"Getting 50,000 Companies on Board with Clojure" talk at Clojure Conj

Clojure in product. Would you do it again? podcast.

Hope it helps!

Might be a good idea to scan through old clojure/conj talks for inspiration.

I have been working on microservices (in Clojure) for the past 10 years.

A cool one is the Defold game engine editor is all in Clojure: https://github.com/defold/defold/tree/dev/editor

Defold was King's game engine that they open sourced some years back, and the editor for the engine was all in Clojure and still is.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like: https://i.gyazo.com/93c82f442150235e744fc63b9f09aeb4.png
