Thanks, this is all helpful! I'm also facing a gap of about 6 or more years, and would like to catch up. (I'm not necessarily getting a clojure job but I'm open to the possibility - if anyone knows of principal/staff engineer jobs, remote or max 1 day in London, not consulting... let me know! https://www.linkedin.com/in/korny )

I'd add: • shadow-cljs on the ClojureScript front. I wouldn't expect 6 years gap to be an issue for folks to be able to navigate the landscape on Clojure JVM; I have the impression things changed a lot more on CLJS; • not sure there was Calva for VS Code 6 years ago (or if it was as complete as it is today, it might be of interest); • Babashka. Independent (I mean, not Clojure core team) effort to provide a slimmed-down Clojure for scripting purposes (it uses GraalVM, provides immediate start up time), it's very popular (and @rahul080327 is a contributor, not sure you and @korny ever crossed paths in the TW age 🙂); • good to know also that Cognitect has been acquired by Nubank, and Rich Hickey retired a few weeks ago, his announcement sounded like cool, more time for Clojure now! but we'll see 🙂 • if you were ever interested in Datomic, is now free; • the guy leading ClojureCLR is plotting a rewrite of that Clojure flavour in F#, which sounds cool enough to know 🙂
