Clojurians Log v2
introduce-yourself
Hello! I’m Manish and I’m unemployed right now. My background is in software development and teaching. I’ve been a teacher/trainer since 2007 and I specialized in Java/Spring. The job hunt for a training role or dev role have been difficult so I’ve been expanding my horizons by learning Clojure. I enjoy Emacs and use it with EXWM over Guix. The idea of bringing Java and lisp together sounds fun and I’m excited to try something outside of OOP. I'm looking to learn with others and hopefully find a Dev role
Hi from France everyone, "junior" JS/TS dev by day here, suffering from javascript fatigue more and more. I try to expand my mind in my "after hours" by exploring what is possible in (too many) other languages. A previous mentor told me once I should learn a Lisp one day to bend my perception of what is possible... Well, let's find out 😅 !
Cool! I think Clojure in particular does it to ya. I know of one possibility-bending Lisp feature that’s lacking: Continuations, but Clojure brings so much more to the table.
hey there! Have you started working through any learning resources? I'm a couple chapters into brave clojure, and it's pretty great
I am actually at the start of the book, thanks for pointing what seems to be a great book 🙂 !
And if you use VS Code for your JS/TS and don't want to learn Emacs, you can add Calva to VS Code and just ignore the Emacs stuff in Brave... The folks in the #calva channel are very helpful! (the #emacs folks are helpful too!)
