A warm Good Morning to you all.
@jonpither: We did have a beer at Strange loop and I have photographic evidence
— you and I? Photography is probably necessary… my brain doesn’t retain detail for long.
@jonpither: Yeah, nilenso is a Clojure consultancy… of sorts. We’re not wedded to Clojure, but all our projects at the moment are some blend of Clojure backends and React frontends.
Thought of the day: I love Dojo format but I find I can’t learn what I need to from just 1.5 hours of toy project. Is it too heavy weight/ scary to n00bs to have an episodic format where we take on a project over several months? I might get to learn ClojureScript this way?!
agile_geek: great idea. Thx for volunteering to organise. What do you think you'll take on? 😄
@otfrom yes I knew i was volunteering! I need a project idea to give me an excuse to learn Om or React with core.async might raise idea in Thoughtworks dojo tonight.
@otfrom: or a better clojurians site, with even management that everyone including london clojurians could use 😛 ?
I don’t want to introduce yet another dojo for longer term projects but I also don’t want to break what works in current dojo’s. Which do you think better, a new meet up around longer term projects or piggy back on existing formats?
new meetup, but announce it at the dojo. Doesn't need to always be in person either. Could be done on slack/github/etc
@otfrom: Cool. I’ll sound ppl out tonight
I’d like to have ‘in person’ sessions every so often though otherwise those with more knowledge run faster than the slower amongst us (like me!). So venue might be an issue. I can’t host it at my current employer.
some nice libs here : https://github.com/funcool
including what looks like a well-maintained monad lib for both clj and cljs : https://github.com/funcool/cats
@agile_geek: pub w/ wifi. :D
benedek: just playing with it... the only wrinkle is getting a context for return/pure etc... you can use a dynamic context, but then you can't call any function returned outside of that context, or you can pass a context explicitly (return continuation-monad val)
s/wrinkle/wrinkle so far/
@xlevus sounds possible although it does exclude strict Muslims from attending.
Some that I know won't enter a place that serves alcohol.
1.7.0 released - http://blog.cognitect.com/blog/2015/6/30/clojure-17
“Transducers, transformers in disguise” [to be sung to Transformer theme tune]
@agile_geek: very geeky!!!
@thomas: I’ll take that as a compliment!
Thoughtworks Clojure dojo is a go! Get yourself here before all the beer and pizza goes!
@mccraigmccraig: so you’d have to explain monads to me….for the 100th time before I could try it out.
@agile_geek: they are like burritos 😉
@otfrom @xlevus; episodal ‘project based’ dojo seems to have some interest behind it. @jr0cket is going to see if we can use Salesforce ‘towers’ as a venue.
Hello Londoners!
