cool! looks very intuitive already.

bbss10:06:53

also has the same name as my boss's sass framework hahah, https://github.com/Wiredcraft/eggshell

stathissideris10:06:44

@bbss I picked the name to sound like a popular spreadsheet software if you mispronounce it a bit 😄

bbss10:06:29

Haha, I didn't notice, feel like a fool now you spell it out. 😄

stathissideris10:06:58

no it’s good, better if it’s not too obvious 🙂

👍 8
bbss10:06:08

It's cool, what direction do you see the project going in?

stathissideris10:06:44

I think customisable keyboard shortcuts is a big one (I’m an emacs person, so I need them)

stathissideris10:06:19

add-lib+aliases will also be very interesting because you can then use any function you want in the cells

and then the last 3 items, which I haven’t thought through

bbss10:06:07

I've been using clojupyter notebook a bunch. I'm also an emacs person, but the notebooks are great for sharing interesting code sessions, so I mostly use it to paste in my cider repl sessions hahah. Although codemirror does have emacs binds.

stathissideris10:06:50

yeah, I guess notebooks are the second most successful UI for “casual computation” (after spreadsheets)

bbss10:06:51

It also has support for rendering images, which is cool.

bbss10:06:35

Yeah. To be honest I don't use spreadsheets a lot. But I hear from my office friends I hear they are open pretty much 24/7 on some of their colleagues screens.

bbss10:06:55

I saw a while back there was a plugin that runs clojure inside excel I think :thinking_face:

stathissideris10:06:34

I’m not even sure it’s worth pursuing eggshell, part of the reason I’m pasting it here is to see what people think

bbss10:06:55

I think it looks very useful, it would be in my toolkit if I did more excel work.

stathissideris10:06:50

glad to hear that!

otfrom13:06:52

@stathissideris it looks really cool. My excel interaction tends to be with interchange. I either receive or need to send an excel workbook to someone

One of our data scientists Amber wrote a second article about adding data science and machine learning to products. Would love feedback from the community. Is the content too simple or does it fill a sweet spot? https://cambium.consulting/articles/2018/6/11/extract-explore-transform-model-how-machine-learning-projects-unfold?utm_source=slack_clojurians&amp;utm_campaign=machine_learning

metasoarous16:06:38

@stathissideris Very cool! Love the name. I also don't use spreadsheets a ton, but when I do, it would be great to do it with cljs!

stathissideris17:06:53

@otfrom same, but I suspect the reason I don’t use it very much is partly because of my dislike

stathissideris17:06:26

@metasoarous this is clj, not cljs (it’s a desktop app, written in swing)

stathissideris17:06:48

glad you like it, my hope is the mix of a spreadsheet and clojure may make the whole think more appealing

stathissideris17:06:55

we deserve better than excel 🙂

metasoarous17:06:34

Lol; Agreed. Thanks for clarifying.
