@thomas oh you poor thing

thomas08:06:38

I know... I feel very sorry for myself actually.

thomas08:06:04

hmm there is even a Dummies book on ISO 20022....

Morning everyone! I joined #clojure-uk in the past two weeks while on holiday and didn’t have the chance to introduce myself. My name is Hristo which is the Bulgarian equivalent of Chris but without the “C”. I’m currently in Edinburgh, working for Amazon. Unfortunately not doing Clojure but I look forward to changing that. The EDI Clojure community is pretty quiet, no meetups or dojos, so I found #clojure-uk very refreshing during my holiday!

I've always found Edinburgh to be so beautiful when its sunny ☀️

korny08:06:51

Hi @hyankov - there were a bunch of Clojure enthusiasts in Glasgow when I was there - you should hook up with them!

hyankov09:06:19

Thanks, @guy I was surprised at how sunny it is most of the time. However, it always rains when I have guests. I guess to keep the weather legend alive 🙂

guy09:06:45

haha yes 😄

hyankov09:06:28

Hi @korny, I remember seeing some Clojure/FP meetups in the area when I moved in but nothing lately. Do you know anyone from the Scottish area in this channel?

danm09:06:17

I know there are a few folks here up in Scotland, but also Scotland is a bit place with lots of empty space, so I don't know that they're necessarily close to you 😉

hyankov09:06:58

That’s true, it’s just me being ignorant and assuming Scotland is just Edinburgh + Glasgow in terms of software development 🙂

korny09:06:21

@hyankov not sure - I can't see any I remember from the channel members. @malcolmsparks might know more about Glasgow clojurists?

malcolmsparks09:06:34

I'm sure if you arranged a meet up in Edinburgh or Glasgow you'd smoke out some of the local community @hyankov

hyankov09:06:13

That would be really interesting and educational, I’ve never organized a meet up. Thanks, @malcolmsparks

otfrom09:06:44

I know @ali_king is in Edinburgh. I'm in Dundee. Some in Glasgow.

joetague10:06:14

Hi folks, I’m Joe, long time lurker from Glasgow and was part of Glasgow Clojurians for a while and went to maybe one or two of the Edinburgh Clojurians. Hi @hyankov, unfortunately I think there has not been a critical mass of people in either Glasgow or Edinburgh regularly doing Clojure together for sometime. I am happy to help to try and change that.

😀 8
hyankov10:06:58

Hi Joe! It might be interesting to organize a one-time thing at least to count heads and see if the community has grown. Thanks for offering help, if I decide to do this will definitely reach out!

joetague10:06:17

Hi Hristo. You are welcome. There are a few functional enthusiasts in my work at Skyscanner in Edinburgh. The last Edinburgh Clojurians meet-up I went to was at FanDuel offices in the same building. What I’ll will do is gather interest at work for a meet-up in Edinburgh and report back here to you in a few days. There is also about 150 people in another slack team called DevTechScot (sign up here if you want another Slack in your life 😂 links.devtech.scot/slack) which run other tech meetups in Edinburgh and Glasgow which might be a place to gather other people interested in Clojure and FP in general. Hope that helps.

maleghast11:06:18

I am near__ to Glasgow, when I am in Scotland, @hyankov 🙂 *waves from Aberfoyle / Inversnaid*

maleghast11:06:13

I am also keen to grow the community a little (or a lot), so let me know if I can help… I am often in London in the working week, sad to say, so I may not be the best example of a “local”, but I am 100% Clojure / ClojureScript at the moment work & play, so keen to meet others up here and get people excited about the language 🙂

maleghast12:06:09

Anyone got 5 minutes and the willingness to help with a Recharts / Reagent issue that is driving me mad..?

manas_marthi12:06:44

Do we have any virtual meetups like the VJUGs run by simon maple?

manas_marthi12:06:18

Sometime ago a reddit user posted his interest in running online presentations and asked for "show of hands" to find the number of interested parties

manas_marthi12:06:42

I asked him I would like to see some "code walk through" or "live coding" sessions on twitch or some other platform

manas_marthi12:06:49

He said he would keep that in mind

manas_marthi12:06:57

Haven't heard back (sent two follow up msgs also 😑 )

practicalli-johnny15:06:18

https://twitter.com/apropos_cast may give you a bit of what you are looking for. Its run from out of the USA, so I dont usually watch it live

practicalli-johnny15:06:14

If you like "live coding", have you seen http://www.parens-of-the-dead.com/ ?

thomas14:06:11

btw I fixed the problem with the ISO 20022 XML file incase anyone wonders.

guy14:06:36

what was the issue

thomas15:06:53

not entirely sure, but we ended up deleting part of the XML by hand and the import worked fine...

thomas15:06:24

we suspect some of the data in that part was malformed some how (but not the actual XML tags)

guy15:06:33

got ya :thumbsup:

practicalli-johnny15:06:12

Clojure Coding dojo at uSwitch this evening... see you there if you are in London

morning!

yogidevbear20:06:35

Anyone here used ArangoDB before?

maleghast21:06:28

@yogidevbear - I have not used it in anger, I have "played" with it for shits and giggles and to decide whether or not to recommend it as a technology choice, but no can't claim properly used it...

yogidevbear21:06:32

What was your general opinion after having played with it?

maleghast22:06:05

It’s a LONG time ago, back end of 2015, perhaps early 2016… Back then my feeling was that it was not ready for primetime. I’ve honestly not kept up with it, so it may be a lot better by now.

3Jane22:06:09

I always wondered how to terminate a reduce early, TIL: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/reduced

3Jane22:06:00

now I can rest satisfied
