@johanatan: true true. I was in a meeting when I read the article 😛

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

thanks

happy thanksgiving back, @chris

@kauko: I think you mean when you "read the URL" 😉

Question: Has anyone heard anything of a new edition of "The Joy of Clojure" being in the works?

I'd want to order the book, but if there is a new edition around the corner I'd wait for it.

@not-much-io: the second edition is the new edition. Order away, I say.

@jaen: Ordered it. Though I understand the second edition is based on Clojure 1.6 and a few years old, was thinking maybe a new version is in the making. Though that would have been quite a fast iteration.

No, it's not (that old)

It's from May 2014

So it's relatively fresh

The first edition was from 2011

I don't think there's anything based on 1.7.0 yet

Clojure Applied is

Not sure how it compares to joy of clojure content wise though

How different are the first and second version of the Joy of Clojure?

Let me check, for some reason I have both

@jaen: great, I only have the first one

For startes you get ~150 pages more, covers newer Clojure with stuff like transducers, touches on Clojurescript, and in general has expanded "Tangential Considerations" part

Has an event sourcing sample, core logic sudoku solver, has a richer DSL sample with a simple SQL DSL

That's about it on the surface differences

thanks.
