Thanks, @norman for your presentation on UI State Machines. And welcome to the new people who showed up. Next month is a to-be-announced social meetup. Then we need a topic for Monday, October 13? Let us know if you have something you could pull together by then.

I'd be interested in hearing about it. I'm not big into web apps with Clojure but I'd like to get into it and hear your experience. Last time I did web development I was using PHP years ago. Also I probably won't be at the social meetup if there is one, I got into a car accident and fractured part of my ankle so I'm chilling for right now.

Yikes. That sucks. I hope you're getting some Physical Therapy.

About 2 weeks left until I go to my follow up checkup. PT probably after that if everything is fine.

good luck. I kind of enjoyed PT-- at least for the first couple of months.

One idea I had was a "Critique": I recently built a new web app using Mount, Reitit, and Malli. This is a fairly small side-project for work, not a core-system. Our main apps are much older and built on Component/Compojure/Spec instead. So this app was a chance for me try out some more modern libraries. I can quickly show the basic wiring for anyone unfamiliar; the advantages/disadvantages that I ran into. Then get some critique from other people who have used these tools-- as a newbie, what can I do better or what other ways are there of using them.
