Clojurians Log v2
announcements
https://www.clojuriststogether.org/news/q2-2026-funding-announcement/. We're looking forward to their progress updates over the next few months. Congratulations all!
https://scicloj.github.io/plotje/ (previously Napkinsketch) is the plotting library we have been working on at https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/real-world-data/ meetings and https://clojurecivitas.org/ posts in the last few months. Finally, after many refactorings, we can have a first alpha release. It has been nice to work on something like that as a group. Many thanks to @smith.adriane @timothypratley @afoltzm @tsulej and quite a few other friends, who have been involved in design, reviews, testing, exploration, and underlying libraries. Plotje builds on several Clojure libraries: • https://scicloj.github.io/tablecloth/ & https://github.com/cnuernber/dtype-next – dataset manipulation and high-performance numeric arrays • https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane – rendering and layout • https://github.com/scicloj/wadogo – scales • https://github.com/Clojure2D/clojure2d – color palettes and gradients • https://github.com/generateme/fastmath – statistics • https://github.com/metosin/malli – schema validation • https://scicloj.github.io/kindly/ & https://scicloj.github.io/clay/ – notebook rendering
this is great 🙂 fyi, the quick start deps reference a -SNAPSHOT version.
And I found it via the cookbook, but it might be worth calling out pj/plot in the export section or elsewhere in the quick start for rendering without exporting to disk.
Damn, that is truly wonderful documentation
@chuck.cassel Thanks, this is helpful.
Indeed the main recommended workflow is through https://scicloj.github.io/clay/, where calling pj/plot is often not needed.
But you are right it is sometimes useful to simply get the (Hiccup) SVG structure through pj/plot.
@him That is so kind. It turned out quite important to write documentation which is automatically tested, so it would be possible to figure out what might break when the internals change. So https://scicloj.github.io/clay/clay_book.test_generation.html has been useful here.
