Clojurians Log v2
introduce-yourself
Hi folks, I'm a Python programmer by trade and Clojure hobbyist. I was drawn to Clojure by core.logic (I'm a bit of a Kanren nerd) and some great talks from the Clojure community. Happy to connect! 👋
Hello, Michael here from Switzerland, 52 years and father of four kids. Java programmer a long time ago. I will probably be just lurking around while I learn some Clojure. I was always secretly in love with LISP. Clojure is just what I needed to get back writing code. Great to see such a big community.
Welcome Michael, there's also a #clojure-switzerland channel and we have meetups from time to time
Great! Thanks for letting me know 😃
From my personal experience I can only say that Clojure brings the joy back to programming. 😃
I discussed the joy of writing Clojure with ChatGPT and it produced some really good insights, why it resonates with me (and maybe not with others). Posting links to the conversation here: Why is programming in Clojure so joyful? https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69695c8632508191b9ef528f59d42606 How does clojure compare and why do some people don't enjoy Clojure? https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69695c9f10748191aeb6d0283d0dfb85 In my experience, I can solve nearly everything in Clojure in a more elegant way than in any other language, from enterprise software, tools, designing models for a 3D printer to develop quantum circuits and algorithms. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69695cc51a688191a7b8634466718cda I've built QClojure and Overarch, for example. Totally different domains but the same experience. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69695b89dbec819194e3ce9d16fbf94b
How does Clojure resonate with LLMs for code generation. I would presume the codebase for training is a lot smaller than for Javascript, Java and Python, because it's not mainstream and also because the code is more dense. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69696845803c8191be4bc8497a66df89
@lsolbach Those are fantastic summaries! Thanks for sharing those!
