Clojurians Log v2

@kevinf: 👍

Sounds like a candidate for July @gaqzi

@jsyeo you volunteering?

@kevinf: oops, the 👍 is for melvin's talk 😛

I dont think i am qualified enough to give an intro to clojure talk

😜 hey I've never built anything in anger in it, that is gonna change soon but that's the point, if a newbie can do a 15 minute intro it just goes to prove how cool the language really is:surfer:🏻

> I've never built anything in anger in it hehe, I usually say I program by perkele. I just keep being angry until I understand everything 😛

@gaqzi: That keyboard looks exactly like mine, are you using a mechanical keyboard?

@jestinepaul: yeah, I’m using a code keyboard. I recently tried out truly ergonomic and type matrix as well. I really liked the truly ergonomic but it become too troublesome when I was using the laptop after having used the truly ergonomic for a long time 😛

hi, how many people here are actually in singapore ? Why are you awake now ?

nice

Awesome job Kevin! Sorry I can't make the next meetup (In UK) but should be back in Singapore in July. Look forward to catching up then.

(hello "everyone")

Guys I think I may have found our first speaker. All Functional Programming languages are based on the logical formalisms in Church’s lambda calculus. I just attended a great introductory talk to this by Melvin Zhang and he is happy to give the same talk again. I think a basic understanding of lambda calculus will enable anyone to get so much more of of Clojure so I am suggesting for the first official talk we start at the start and start with an introduction to Lambda Calculus by Melvin

Sounds good)

awesome! I wanted to attend that but block 71 is very inconveniently located 😛

I have just had a request by someone else for an intro to Clojure and I think a presentation on clojure based around Adam Bard’s learn Clojure in 15 minutes might be a great follow up to the lamda calculus on the same night, thoughts.

I don’t mind doing it and as a newbie I have no fear, no knowledge and dinasour thick skin but if there is someone who would like to do this please step forward

👍

I’m thinking about offering to do a talk on spacemacs/emacs for clojure, but want some more time to actually code anything before I fully offer
