I hope you feel better soon

There's a lot of it about. My wife was sick for over a week (no fever but a nasty, persistent cough). My team mate has been off sick with a fever for a week 😞

I honestly thought about applying because I'm a programmer who went to uni to study Scandinavian linguistics and who also happens to work remotely for a Danish company, but I'm not looking to change jobs

I studied a term of Medieval Icelandic, and also Old English (pre 1066) and was thinking about it as well

I was also doing Old Norse! Still have the grammar books

Egil, Grim's ugly son

From Egil's Saga? Is that one of the fun ones?

@U0525KG62 considering you are pre-1066, can't you just remember? is that too long ago? (quickly leaves the room) 😉

Egil's saga is possibly the funnest

mostest funnestest

@U052852ES I took the Old English course as a gimme. I wanted an easy class.

fair enough 🙂

Handy hint at conferences, don’t bring up the root of english words with @U0525KG62 - he knows them all, fascinating to listen too 🙂

what is the root of etymology?

I think there’s some library for working with Excel files.. incanter?

Docjure

Incanter is the Clojure implementation of R - which should be able to work with Excel files, I imagine, but it's a nuclear warhead to crack a nut in this case 😉

Massively standing on the shoulders of giants, such as the authors / contributors to clojure.data.csv and of course cheshire

Here's Docjure, btw -> https://github.com/mjul/docjure

I should make a version that goes from Excel straight to JSON without the CSV step, right? I mean that's what I should do..? 😉

Naturally.

I won’t tell you what I’ve done. 🙂

Awww, g'wan @U0K1RLM99! Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssse!

In the new year

@U0K1RLM99 that is cruel...

OK, I'll be patient

@U052852ES I’m a horrible human being I know

I kinda already knew that... but still... ❤️

🙂

I've used docjure in the past to clean up a whole bunch of data collected in the field in excel spreadsheets by people with little to no experience collecting data like that (sports coaches - about their athletes) ... there were all kinds of typos and data entered in the wrong cells ... there was no way that it could have been done in time without clojure + docjure ...

There’s also https://github.com/dhatim/fastexcel

We use this with a wee bit of interop.

If you want to create excel files again, take a look at https://github.com/soulspace-org/cmp.poi
