Hi everyone (again), I'm Mike. I wanted to ask everyone here: What's your hardware/software setup to do things in Clojure? I'm currently on a 2015 MacBook Pro using primarily Calva within VS Code.

VS Code with Calva on 2021 MacBook Pro

Stefan Böhringer14:11:36

2021 MacBook Pro and Emacs here ;-)

dharrigan14:11:09

generic i7-8700K intel box, 64GB RAM, 2TB ZFS setup, two 27" DELL monitors, Arch Linux, neovim, conjure, coc (and the usual plethora of unixy tools)

pez14:11:47

#CBE668G4R and #C03DPCLCV9N on vanilla VS Code, 2021 MacBook Pro 16" M1. No external monitor, keyboards or anything. By proxy of Calva I use #CPABC1H61, #CHY97NXE2, #C8YT051KN, #CHB5Q2XUJ amongst other things from the Clojure eco system. I prefer #C6QH853H8 and use #C6N245JGG for most things ClojureScript. Some #CLX41ASCS now and then. Using #C013B7MQHJQ for a hobby project. When building apps, I am mostly a frontender and reach for #C0620C0C8 and #C073DKH9P, also when doing #C0E1SN0NM things, where again #C6N245JGG is helping me.

Thanks, everyone. I'm considering a switch to Linux. @U11EL3P9U Is Arch Linux a stable distribution?

dharrigan15:11:19

I've been using it for years without issue. It's not stable in the sense of a LTS (like Ubuntu LTS), as it's a rolling distribution that is always up-to-date.

dharrigan15:11:42

Saying that, I've yet to experience a breakage that prevents me from using my 'puter.

Michael Agres15:11:43

As a Linux noob (or one who hasn't touched it for almost 20 years when he ran Red Hat on a re-purposed Dell desktop), what's the best way to start?

dharrigan15:11:10

It's quite hard to answer that question. There is no one best way to start. If you willing to give Arch a go, their installation guide is very comprehensive (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide). You may not succeed on the first attempt, but the insights you gain will be invaluable on maintaining a healthy linux box.

There were some questions on this in the State of Clojure survey. 🙂https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-QRiy0fSu3bmDK_2FSNMplVJw_3D_3D/

Michael Agres16:11:48

Ha! 666 respondents on this survey primarily worked in Java.

I currently use Emacs + CIDER on a 16-inch MacBook Pro, But I'm replacing this MacBook one day with a Mac mini... My specific software stack is clojure 1.11, openjdk17-graalvm, and leiningen 2.9.10. For CLJS projects I use figwheel-main (integrates nicely with lein).

César Olea18:11:13

Two setups: MacBook Pro M1 + Emacs + Cider. Linux (Regolith, Ubuntu based) + Emacs + Cider.

Dajana Herichova19:11:09

2015 MacbookPro with Emacs + Cider and now I‘m switching to Dell and Archlinux also with Emacs + Cider.

Michael Agres01:11:01

@U0404ASMSCT What steered you to switch from Mac to Archlinux?

Hello! My name is Noah and I am from Sweden. I am currently a student at KTH and I am in my last year of my master's in computer science in the track software technology. I had a brief encounter with functional programming a couple of years ago, (Haskell), it was cool and expressive, but I did not really stick with it. Now that I have discovered Clojure I will definitely stick with it for a while. I am currently using the Brave Clojure book in order to learn everything, and I try to solve math problems from Project Euler in order to be more comfortable with the language :)
