Morning All!

Morning everyone!

@dominicm I have a question re: integrant and your usage, mind if I ping you DM?

dominicm10:09:41

go ahead :)

dominicm10:09:29

I'm currently trying to navigate the rocky waters of "let me pay my damn council tax!"

dharrigan11:09:14

I'll probably say again, but the easy interop with java (and the plethora of libraries) makes clojure even more fantastic!

dharrigan11:09:40

being able to simply import a jar, then using interop to call methods on objects in clojure is grrrrrreat

The very reason I’m doing my ClojureX talk on it.

jasonbell13:09:16

That and I thought everyone was bored with my love of Kafka.

dharrigan14:09:53

kafka ftw! 🙂

mccraigmccraig15:09:04

@dharrigan although doing side-effecting exponential backoff (or anything apart from immediate) retry with kafka-streams is 😿

maleghast16:09:24

I am really looking forward to your ClojureX talk @jasonbell

(I am still "learning" about Interop with Java)

otfrom16:09:44

otfrom16:09:51

I'm glad skillsmatter made the right choice in the end about John de Goes. I'd hate to have to stop going to clojurex

seancorfield17:09:51

I see he already took down the blog post he made on September 3rd about "revisiting LambdaConf" -- but I missed the SkillsMatter interaction? Did they invite him to speak and then uninvite him?

otfrom17:09:50

They did. It took a bit of work from a number to keep him away

@otfrom On the plus side at least your new varifocals will mean I’ll look a thousand miles away…..
