Not sure what would be the best channel to post these, but slides from the presentation about why Clojure is so popular in Finland. It was presented at the Tel Aviv Clojure meetup on Jan 2nd. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1nCZ-GmWLcH8Dcz3XJHY00xbm42V9-rBL9n2PGkKYp0k/edit?folder=0AM-3FGnMl8asUk9PVA

57th Clojure study group on Saturday 1st February, 11am UTC. Broadcast: https://youtu.be/3qL1hieRALY This week we will walk through another CodeWars challenge, this time the seemingly complicated Maximum Subarrays sum kata. https://www.codewars.com/kata/54521e9ec8e60bc4de000d6c/ This is a level 5kyu (7 being easiest, 1 being hardest). In solving this challenge I have so far used predicate functions, those that return a boolean (true, false). I have also used a higher order function, a function that returns a function definition. The functions I have used along the way include: pos?, pos-int?, map, apply, and, reduce, every? identity every-pred Not all of them will be used in the final solution 🙂 We will look at the more interesting functions if we have time. Hopefully I will finish off the challenge before the broadcast, if not there will be some more live coding :) Code and tests will be shared in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/practicalli/codewars-guides
