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

ahoi! pirate 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 ?

otfrom15:09:56

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

otfrom15:09:22

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

skuro15:09:32

no other Dutch meetups, no

skuro15:09:20

my doubt was more about the word order tbh

skuro15:09:00

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

skuro15:09:03

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

synthomat15:09:10

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

skuro15:09:18

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

skuro15:09:14

given that the community is fairly small & closely knit together

skuro15:09:56

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

otfrom16:09:51

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

otfrom16:09:58

Meetup = any meetup

otfrom16:09:09

Clojure Meetup = any Clojure Meetup

otfrom16:09:30

Dutch Clojure Meetup = any Meetup about Clojure that is Dutch

otfrom16:09:15

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

borkdude16:09:00

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

otfrom16:09:58

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

otfrom16:09:12

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

otfrom16:09:23

but English loves amibuity

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

synthomat19:09:36

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

dominicm20:09:17

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