going to try and persuade my employer to send me there but have nothing confirmed yet. Why?
@cezar: @richiardiandrea and I are both going. I'm hoping to meet some other Canadian Clojure programmers.
yeah, looking forward to that myself! Alas not sure if there will be a $ and time budget for me to go
I saw a message on twitter that looked like @avey_q was going too
@cezar: Where in Canada are you? In Edmonton here.
Oh cool, I love it there (only visited for a short time though). Are there many local companies / people using Clojure?
No, the IT community in New Brunswick is pretty small but surprisingly vibrant. There is at least one startup here that are 100% Clojure though
and I'm goading my employer to use Clojure more extensively (so far got Datomic in the door though which is a great first step)
Wow that's really cool. Do you have to use Datomic from other languages?
yeah, from Java. Not ideal but still much better than try-ConnectionPool->PrepStatement->ResultSet->MapToPojo->close-all-the-things song and dance of JDBC
Are you going to the datomic workshop?
I'm also keenly interested in onyx. If there are any sessions about it I'll definitely attend
@cezar: Stuart Halloway is running a 1 day Datomic workshop on Nov 29 right before the Conj, I've got my ticket already. Onyx looks really amazing, I hope one day I get a project that it would be suitable for - I don't do anything that needs it yet.
seems to be the case with a lot of business apps. On the first glance it looks like a perfect fit for Spark or Onyx and you take a second look and go "eh, I can still calculate it all in one JVM" and just do it the simple way. But I think as the data volumes grow and grow Onyx and its kin will become prevalent
