Morning

So, got two new Clojure backenders on Tuesday last week. Their first deploy to production was now.

morning

ahoi! question to the L1 English speakers out there. I run The Dutch Clojure Meetup for more than 10 years now, and yet only today I started to wonder: is that even proper English? Should it be called The Clojure Dutch Meetup ?

do you run other Dutch Meetups and you need to distinguish this one?

calling it The Dutch Clojure Meetup means that I know it isn't The London Clojure Meetup or the NYC Clojure Meetup

no other Dutch meetups, no

my doubt was more about the word order tbh

but indeed, reading The London Clojure Meetup and NYC Clojure Meetup seems to suggest I'm doing well

I guess The Clojure Dutch Meetup would indeed be grammatically correct as well, but give words a different "hierarchy" of importance

right?

I guess “Clojure Dutch” is not a Dutch dialect 😉

mhhh

that might be an interesting phylological enquiry, whether the clojure code produced by the Dutch community has strong, local idioms

given that the community is fairly small & closely knit together

but until we have a Science publication on the subject, we cannot really speak of a Clojure Dutch dialect as of yet

in English (sort of) the previous modifier affects the next word

Meetup = any meetup

Clojure Meetup = any Clojure Meetup

Dutch Clojure Meetup = any Meetup about Clojure that is Dutch

Second Dutch Clojure Meetup = Meetup about Clojure that is Dutch that was founded by the First group of splitters 😉

Like we have Amsterdam and New Amsterdam, also known as New York, which also have their own Clojure meetup. Kinda.

yeah, gets tricky there if you have the New Amsterdam Meetup

is it in New Amsterdam or is it the New Meetup in Amsterdam

but English loves amibuity

This is why we added () to maths (New Amsterdam) Meetup. Makes you look very clojure.

yet again: there’s no such thing as “too many parentheses”

(-> amsterdam new meetup clojure). Turns out yoda speak is built into clojure
