Hey! I'm Itay, a product designer from Israel. I've recently jumped into the world of programming with the intention to build things myself. Decided to learn Clojure as a first language. One month in!

Very cool choice of first language! How are you faring thus far?

Itay Dreyfus15:08:44

Reading a lot, banging my head often, and going through 4clojure over and over again 😁

pez17:08:25

Sounds like a lot of fun. Have you found the editor-based 4clojure? It makes it much easier to experiment than a web solution.

Itay Dreyfus21:08:16

Hmm, I'm mostly experimenting with maria.cloud

Itay Dreyfus21:08:33

What's the editor-based 4clojure?

Hello everyone! I'm Alexandre, a Brazillian data engineer who works in the healthcare/healthtech industry. I started learning Clojure less than two months ago, after getting tired of my current data engineering stack (mostly Scala/Apache Spark), which I've been using for almost 3 years on a daily basis. My goal is to learn as much Clojure as possible and (hopefully) integrate some of it into my company's current data infrastructure (and by that I mean to totally ditch Scala :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:). I would love to see the Clojure data science/data engineering community grow! So if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

@U066L8B18 can connect you with a vibrant and growing data science community for Clojure -- there are several channels active here but also a lot of activity on the Clojurians ZulipChat service.
