Thank you! I also ran across this from way back when: https://github.com/bfontaine/grape

and how i use it to find all of our translation stuff: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/blob/master/bin/i18n/src/i18n/enumerate.clj

I appreciate you sharing! Looking forward to digging in a little later.

@staypufd I believe you’re covering babshka in the November meetup (11/14 @ Capital Factory). Yesterday, @camdez offered to do add on another 10 minutes to show his babshka techniques and some of his real world examples at collbox. I think that would be a great addition if you’re still up for it, Cam? For everyone else, Sam’s talk description: > This month we are going to try again to do the Babashka talk. Babashka > is a Clojure-compatible tool for writing scripts to run from the command line. It uses the Small Clojure Interpreter (SCI) as it’s core. It’s fast and can your scripts can be compiled with Graal VM to make them even faster than it already starts. It’s great for command line work allowing you to keep working with Clojure instead of Bash, Zsh, Csh, Ksh, etc.

I’m definitely up for contributing something to the meetup, but I’m kind of a noob on Babashka and don’t know how much I actually have to show / teach. I was just saying it’s becoming a part of my workflow but I think you guys may have overestimated my knowledge. 🙂 I may be able to get there by that date…I do have a couple snippets of non-Clojure code in my repo that I’m hoping to nuke with Babashka before too long…

mlimotte15:10:27

Possibly I misunderstood. But, regardless, I think it’s always interesting to see real more world examples.

mlimotte16:10:14

Maybe even an open call… if anyone else has a few babshka scripts they wouldn’t mind presenting. I, for one, would love to see more examples.

@camdez, what about a talk about eMacs? "Forbidden eMacs secrets"?

mlimotte18:10:27

As a separate idea, another interesting Meetup topic could be real-world macros.

mlimotte18:10:57

Three or four (or five) people each share a handful of Macros that they’re using in projects.

mlimotte18:10:55

It’s common for early Clojure devs to overuse macros. then experience the pain and underuse. We can share a few of what we think are “good” uses… and see if there are commonalities or patterns.

That would be good. Maybe that can be Decembers meetup, with each person sharing some.
