God morgon everyone! I offered to do a presentation at the Clojure Café the day before FuncProgConf. I've been thinking about what to talk about, and I have a few ideas based on what I'm working on. Unfortunately all only Clojure-adjacent. 1. Corgi! i.e. my emacs meta config. It's getting its first big update in years, and I'd love to tell people more about why I think it's great. 2. Janet! I'm working on a tool which I want to distribute as a smallish binary, and after some detours settled on Janet-lang (https://janet-lang.org/) to do it in, so I could do a "Janet for Clojure Programmers", explaining how it's similar and how it's different with some examples 3. Deploying Clojure with Systemd! (or more generally "Running Clojure in Prod") The tool I'm working on is a green-blue deployment tool built on top of systemd. I can talk about the different ways I've run clojure in prod, from a jar, from a container, from source, and how to use systemd and possibly podman/quadlet to manage it, harden it, etc. What do folks think?

Janet! I’ve been very curious for long about it and just never have acted on it. There’s some fancy regular expression adjacent thing there, iirc? I may be confusing with something else…

yeah they actually don't have regex, but they have a core PEG library

actually they do have a regex API, but it just a transformation into PEG grammar https://janet-lang.org/spork/api/regex.html

Janet is cool but weird, and I'm only recently dipping my toes in, so this wouldn't be an expert perspective, but more a first impressions talk

A first impressions talk sounds yummy to me!

All of the topics sounds very exciting, hope you’ll manage to pitch all of them.clojure-spin Personally, I struggle to chose between 2 and 3. I’ll vote both. ☺️

Haha, I don’t know if Arne will solve it in the same way as @quoll did 😃

did she just talk about all the things?

Haha, two out of three. Two talks where tied in popularity, so she delivered both.

I just like the sound of my own voice too much

I should get those recordings cleaned up and the talks published,

I met this Swedish-talking Finn on my way to the Conj, @markus.holmstroem. Turns out he joins the Clojure Café, and also that he wants to demo his 🤯 spreadhseet thing. So that narrows it to one slot for your you, @plexus. Looks like Janet won the poll, but you should pick whatever you feel is the more fun for you, me thinks.

God morgon!

Morn morn!
