👋 Hi there! My name is Zac and I'm based out of the DFW area. I have been programming for ~10 years with 6 of that being Elixir. I stumbled upon Clojure clojure when an interviewee used it for an interview I was proctoring. I had never seen the language before yet there were things that felt familiar. I then heard a podcast with Jose Valim, the creator of Elixir, stating that Clojure was one of his inspirations for the language. At that point, I knew I had to give it a try. So here I am to learn and try out more functional languages!

Hello from DFW! Given it is a broad area, which side of DFW are you in?

North Dallas! What about you?

In the North side of North Richland Hills, a little bit west of DFW Airport. What part of North Dallas, e.g. "real" North Dallas, e.g. Dallas up towards Richardson, or "general" North Dallas that goes up towards Frisco? 😄

I just set up a #C0B724B4C3S channel; nothing in there yet, but realized it is long overdue to have one for the DFW area
