Hey guys, I have a bit unusual question - if you had a minor experience in Clojure back-end web apps and Incanter, more in Java, some with Python/C/R, Hadoop ecosystem how would have used 4 months of free time before going to the US? What would you have focused on?

@chokheli work on any project around the domain of your interest with the tools you enjoy most, learn as you go, language really is not that critical, it's the process that counts

@lovuikeng Thank you!

@chokheli სალამი 😉

ვაჰ, გაუმარჯოს

ძალიან იშვიათია ქართველი clojure-თან :დ 👍

ჰო, კაი 3 წელი ვიძახე მაგრამ ვერავის ვერაფერი შევასმინე 😂

საით ხარ, რას საქმიანობ?

@chokheli I completely agree with @lovuikeng, concepts and execution patterns (algorithms/data structures) are much more important than particular languages. If you know how to manage the data and translate it into the form that you want, the language you use is less meaningful in the long run.

cool, @bravilogy is here... Bravi practically taught himself, with help from clojurian channels, re-frame application development in less than a week with great result https://github.com/Bravilogy/colours-game-clojure/ You might learn something from there too @chokheli

actually it turns out that we share a fellow citizenry 😄

me and @chokheli

which is very seldom. I mean it’s seldom for a developer from my country to be interested in Clojure.. for some unknown reason. but yeah..

btw, @lovuikeng I’m adding more complexity to that game. my colleagues found it entertaining too haha

@bravilogy If you build it, they will come

by the way, @chokheli if you're looking for something inspirational https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey, and can't get enough of it https://github.com/tallesl/Rich-Hickey-fanclub

I'm trying to l.earn how to use cider to examine sub expressions in debug mode. For example, suppose I have code:

(defn foo [x y z]
  (let [a (bar0 x y)
    b (bar1 y z)
    c (bar3 a b)]
  (+ a b c)))

Please PM me if you are interested. If you are an active contributor to clojure libs, I'm happy to pay upfront.

@tkxue Yes, this is doable. Look here: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/master/doc/debugging.md and if you need more (and maybe that 1-1) try #cider
