Clojurians Log v2
introduce-yourself
👋 Hi! My name's Abbe and I'm from The Netherlands. I've been doing web development for about 17 years, mainly frontend. The last couple of years I'm drawn more to the server-side, where the interesting stuff happens (data transformations, business logic, complex architecture). Unfortunately, non-frontend web development is dominated by a very OO style of coding which has lots of aspects I really dislike. I've been interested in functional programming for 6 years or so. Because I'm self-taught, my journey started with the "Haskell way" of FP (monads, types, lots of currying), but once I discovered Eric Normand's work I prefer the "Clojure way". Looking forward to learning more about the Clojure way of programming and maybe land a Clojure(Script) job sometime.
Hoi Abbe, welkom in Clojure land. Er is ook een #clojure-nl en #clojure-europe waar meerdere mensen uit NL zijn. En er is ook een meetup regelmatig.
Thanks @thomas! Als dat de https://www.meetup.com/the-dutch-clojure-meetup/events/306698802/ is: daar was ik de laatste keer bij en zo ben ik in deze Slack gekomen.
Cool! I got i to Clojure through the same path. I was enamoured with Haskell, and wanted to do UI in a sane way. Found Elm, loved it. Started exploring Clojure for interactive programming of Long running processes - I found I enjoyed writing a server more in Clojure than in Haskell, Python or Java.
