Hi @mkvlr I'm one of the co-founders of Factor House, we're based in Northcote just a short trip out from Fitzroy (maybe 15 minutes on a tram). We're a Clojure shop 🙂
You should stop past our office and say hello, we're always happy to meet more Clojure folks! RE: when looking for somewhere to stay - Fitzroy and Fitzroy North are very trendy and quite nice, Northcote and Thornbury to the north are also lovely and slightly more family oriented. Fairfield and Alphington over to the east are even more so. I live in Alphington, love it there. It would be a 25 minute commute to your kids school in Fitzroy though so you may want to stay closer.
And hi @noahmjohnstone 👋 - we're looking at restarting a Clojure and/or similar meetup at Factor House HQ in Northcote shortly. I'll pop more info in here when we have proper plans.
Apologies also for the late-night messages, I'm in the UK right now, back next month.
I'll put this in here (posted it to reddit / mailing list as well) but a bit of background on what we're up to re: OSS clojure right now: https://factorhouse.io/blog/articles/beyond-reagent-with-hsx-and-rfx/
Just found it here. Why not also post it in #news-and-articles?
Good idea, I didn't know that channel existed.
hi @d-t-w, I think we’ve met at the Conj in Baltimore! Thanks for those tips and happy to drop by the office when I’m in Melbourne starting October. Restarting a Clojure meetup sounds lovely.
I thought so! Well it will be nice to meet again. 🙂
