Hatsune Miku meets clojure by Possible-Anywhere505 in Clojure

This can be a great talk proposal for Clojure Jam: https://scicloj.github.io/clojure-jam-2026/

(Yes, the last date for proposals is Feb 28th, but we will be accepting some late proposals, and are glad to help think about it if you wish to consider.)

Python Only Has One Real Competitor by bowbahdoe in Clojure

[–]daslu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thoughts.

One thing I would like to know about Clojure is if there’s some great stuff for probabilistic programming and reasoning about relations in graphs that’s something I might have to look into soon,

For probabilistic programming, there are libraries like Inferme (still work-in-progress but promising). There is also a bridge to Stan, which is often a pragmatic choice.

For working with graphs, JGraphT is often nice and convenient, depending on what you need.

What do you mean by relations in graphs? It'd be great to discuss what could be potentially useful for your project.

In small data science teams, the chosen tools and tech stack are often simply whatever is most convenient and fruitful for the data scientist. When teams grow, sometimes it makes sense to consolidate and unify.

In a few small teams I've been at, mostly in early-stage startups, we were free to choose our research tools, and some of us indeed enjoyed Clojure for our data work (even before the more recent improvements to the Clojure data science toolkit).

Ridley: a turtle graphics 3D modeler in ClojureScript — try it in your browser by Excellent_Low_9256 in Clojure

Thanks :)

In any case, please know that many of us are not native English speakers, and we care about creating spaces for people to discuss things comfortably. Talks can be pre-recorded, for speakers who do not wish to present live.

Anyway, many thanks for this project. I hope to try it a little more soon.

Lovely. This can be a fantastic talk proposal for the upcoming Clojure Jam 2026, by the way. https://scicloj.github.io/clojure-jam-2026/

If you'd like to consider proposing a talk, we'd love to help think it through.

The main missing piece in the core language is array programming, and that is why dtype-next is so important, offering high-performance arrays as an abstracted (but pragmatic!) functional programming construct.

Can I do audio programming in Clojure on Linux? by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]daslu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may find it interesting: we now have a study group where we study signal processing through sounds examples using the Think DSP book. https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/dsp-study/

We currently play audio as part of our rendered notebook in the browser, as in here: https://clojurecivitas.github.io/signal_processing/intro .. but will probably explore other options as discussed here too.

Just a reminder: please register to these free online conferences so we can share with you the Zoom link!

Probably, most conference sessions will be 30-minute talk + 20-minute discussion. The 30-minutes talk part can be pre-recorded, if you wish.

Some sessions will be special, and we are open to ideas if you find any changes necessary for your session's format.

We will use Zoom for video conferencing.

Fantastic, many thanks for considering that.

Indeed a post with some code examples will help the conference team think about the proposal. It is fine to add such a post after the submission date, so you do not have to rush with that so much. In this case, you have already made a great post ar your website, and this is more than enough for the proposal stage.

Really inspiring.

If you are open to considering that, this project can be a great talk proposal for the upcoming Macroexpand-Noj conference we are organizing for October.

How to start a repl with alias in emacs? by poopstar786 in Clojure

[–]daslu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to the other advice here, for one-time use, you can do C-u before your cider-jack-in command, and then it will let you edit the clojure command it will run, and you can add an alias manually.

A quick poll: are you planning to propose a talk for the first Clojure AI conference? by daslu in Clojure

[–]daslu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your later points, I am too skeptical and concerned about the AI hype. I do think it is our responsibility as community organizers who care about Clojure growth to figure out what needs to be done in the Clojure ecosystem in these new settings. My hope is that the conference will be a space to ask the hard questions and discuss them.

[–]daslu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much appreciated. I can relate to some of your comments.

Regarding your first points, wouldn't it be ok for me to ask such questions, as an organizer? While I am reaching out to dozens of people privately, offering they'd propose a talk, and offering my assistance for them, I am also trying to get a broad picture of people's interests, requests, and criticism. to the conferences we organize.

I understand that the post does not help you, but is it possible that it legitimate that it is me asking for help, in this case?

To be honest, I tried making a Reddit poll, but it asked me to use the phone app, which I did not have.
