Hello everyone, I am Tich. I have experience with C#, Java, Python and Common Lisp. An opportunity has arisen at work to work in Clojure. I have read the first 6 chapters of Clojure for the brave and have a basic appreciation of the language. I hope to learn more through doing more tasks.
Hi - I'm Matt, I'm a 51 year old Java developer, learning Clojure because I want to get away from huge clunky IDEs. My experience is mostly in Ops and bugfixing but I loathe that with a passion & want to get doing more greenfield stuff. I think when I "retire" at 65 I'll try & do a bunch of low cost startups, see what has legs. I can't afford to retire as such ever.
Been getting hugely into Emacs on my own time, as "Clojure for the Brave and True" kinda makes it so you really need to know it. Steep learning curve but I've actually started to grok it having done a load of config in e-Lisp, and then converted to using org-mode for my config, and all my notes and stuff. I'm just at the point now of trying to get GTD style capture templates for org-agenda.
No, what's that?
googles Looks interesting - might have been useful a couple of weeks ago, but I ended up setting up a lot of that myself already, following some System Crafters videos and a few other sources. I'm at the point where I've got an org file I bring with me from my Dropbox & just org-babel-tangle that into an init.el. It has a couple of wrinkles I need to debug but it's pretty decent now.

In the end you may find that you're just as happy to get away from huge clunky languages! 😉
@U02NCML732A Emacs is a way of life. I'm happy you didn't find one of the pre-packaged Emacs distributions and rolled your own at first. You'll learn a ton and make it your own. I'm a 10+ year Emacs newbie, learning new things every day. Also the System Crafter's videos are top notch. I used their videos on how to setup mu4e and finally found the email client that works for me, after trying several.
