måning
morning
probably it’s already posted on other channels but I’m not following them that much
I thought that meant more consulting
but does it mean they've been acquired?
oh right shoulda read the article
Morning
an exit
Yup, looks like they've been acquired
whaaaaat
I suppose when you're as invested in Clojure as Nubank is, it makes sense to buy the people/company responsible for the stewardship of the language
especially when US foreign policy is so erratic
make sure you have all your underlying infra IP lodged in your own jurisdiction
clj is still open source I guess
but not datomic
but I guess they've always aggressively discouraged the community from getting too involved
that potentially means that Rich has more time to spend on Clojure, not distracted with having to make a business out of it
thats a feature though isnt it
Eclipse Public License
Clojures licence was a cause of concern over the years
A concern for who? EPL is a perfectly good license for commercial use.
helps you to focus on the most important things
where important === things customers are prepared to pay for
the paid product of Cognitect was Datomic, not Clojure
Clojures licence was a cause of concern over the years
plus whatever consultancy custies are asking for
that might have been a factor in acquisition as well
I’m guessing Rich still has the copyrights to all of clojure too. That stuff didn’t appear to be on the table with cognitect.
"Rich Hickey will remain at the helm of Clojure, which remains independent, and will continue to manage Clojure’s technical direction."
Yeah I saw that too, but thought it worth confirming the situation directly: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03S1KBA2/p1595513535211800 TLDR; Rich still as the copyrights, nothing to worry about, move along, move along…

and all the consultancy they can eat
