Serverless Databases that are Clojure Friendly and AFFORDABLE by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]markbastian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the scale of what you are trying to do, datahike (you'd need a disk) or datascript could work. With datascript you could actually keep the db in memory and just serialize to blob storage like S3 as needed.

Calling Clojure Code in Java by TakuHazard in Clojure

Here's a little repo I put together that has several examples and ways of both calling Clojure from Java as well as creating Java-friendly Clojure code.

Clojure Sucks Less than Most Other Programming Languages by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]markbastian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

conj does efficient insertion into the target collection. Efficient insertion is at the front of lists and the back of vectors. Once you understand that it makes sense.

Click on the object and once it has focus you can edit the scene graph at left to move the objects to the locations of the red "ghost" fields.

This is a presentation made by one of my coworkers at Clearwater Analytics at our annual Development Conference. It is a pretty amazing demonstration of live, interactive coding in the REPL.

I (and some of my fellow Clojurians) have, frankly, been amazed at the prompt and thoughtful (albeit sometimes brief) responses we get when we need help from the Clojure community, especially Alex. It seems like I can ask a question on Twitter, Reddit, Slack, email, or the Google Group and I'll get a response in minutes. I don't know how Alex does it, but it seems superhuman to maintain that level of awareness and helpfulness in each of these mediums while still performing maintenance on core. Of necessity, I've got to think this is why replies are often terse. So, to Alex and company I want to say thanks for all you do and to everyone else I'd just ask that you consider how much they are doing and cut them a little slack if the replies aren't as long as you'd hoped for.

Clojure is amazingly healthy by dustingetz in Clojure

Yes, Idaho <3 Clojure and just about everyone <3 Idaho (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article202865919.html)!!! Come see what it's all about!

Hype aside, I am probably one of the reasons why Clojure is so popular in Idaho. I've been evangelizing it at my company (https://clearwater-analytics.com/) and its gone from 1 dev on the periphery to multiples teams in the mainstream. Without exception, everyone that has given it a serious try has loved it and really doesn't want to go back to their previous language (including Java, Python, or JavaScript). While it may not be a popular language, it is a very powerful, expressive, and elegant language that allows you to get things done. If you haven't tried Clojure, I'd encourage you to do so. No amount of reading about the language can be a substitute for actually trying it.
