Good Morning!

Mornin'! The online Ohio Clojurians met last night and we played with Ferret ("Clojure" that transpiles to C++) -- because a couple of the guys are interested in microprocessor stuff, which is Ferret's target. Interesting and a bit weird. And definitely not Jank. In Ferret, keywords are represented as numbers -- on the assumption that the target system is very small and your program won't have many keywords -- but it means that (= :hello :olleh) because of the way it hashes things. So that was fun 🙂
