Announcing the #C0B655S3R19 https://clojure.cc/ The new Clojure website dedicated to Clojure dialects and Clojure inspired variants! Bring your comments and ideas to our slack channel (or to https://github.com/clojurestar/clojure-cc)
If you've already seen the site, I encourage you to check out the latest additions, covered in this #C015AL9QYH1 post: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C015AL9QYH1/p1780074280468649
How is this mainatined, w.r.t., release? I noticed that you have Fennel 1.0.0 but it's currently 1.6.1 (12 Dec 2025).
It's auto updated on every merge/push and one a day at ~4am UTC
That sounds like a bug. I'll look into it. A github issue would be appreciated :)
Looks like the repo is likely wrong: https://github.com/clojurestar/clojure-cc/blob/main/src/dialects.yaml#L58 Wanna update it?
I'll take a look in a little bit.
technomancy doesn't like github, iirc he move leiningen to codeberg. wonder why not fennel
Anyway, I'll try to get this fixed by tomorrow. An issue or PR would be a good reminder, but not absolutely necessary. You can always just bug me here if I forget.
https://github.com/bakpakin/Fennel/releases might have broke my script 😂
How about OBB ? https://github.com/babashka/obb Applescript js engine host. I think is relevant in the agentic repl system automation era (for osx at least)
If you do that and follow the flow to make a PR, I can merge it which will auto-publish the page. I'd like to test this out with a real user!
For anyone else still here, the data for the dialects page needs more vetting. There may be mistakes. Also looking for more aspects to tag (new tags).
@chromalchemy I added you to #C0B655S3R19
Ah, you added it to the end of the file... > Note: please put it between Cloture and Lokke (current star order). I should add a comment to that file explaining that part. Do you want to move it to ~ line 189. If not I can do it later.
I put the entries in star (popularity) order, So that they show up that way on first page load before a user tries sorting by column...
I suppose I could do that programmatically and just have the entries be in alphabetical order by their name.
But showing them starting in popularity order seems like the best user experience
Sadly, it puts Fennel at the end because Fennel moved away from GitHub to a system that doesn't have stars.
In reality, Fennel had 2700+ Stars on github. It really deserves to be near the top.
I could probably "fix" that by hard-coding the GitHub stars number for Fennel
it forked, theoffered edit screen, then not sure what was last thing. Will try again later
Cool, thanks. Effectively, it opens the data file in a browser editor. Let's you edit it. When you go to Save it, it says you can't save to the site repository, but you can save to a fork. Then you fork the repo and save it. Then it should offer you to submit a pull request to the project which you should do. It's supposed to make things really easy to contribute small fixes with just a browser. I'm not sure it accomplishes that. 😄
