squint 2026-02-15

Using Clojure without persistent immutable data structures may have you saying WAT?!? Regardless, even when you squint, the heart of Clojure remains (< 3) On Valentine’s Day and every day 💝

For the uninitiated in the lore of WATMAN. Here’s the source of the reference https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

that's just fennel or squint! you should try them out

Of course! All the Clojures are my (< 3) love languages :)

This all started with a poem I wrote while watching Jeaye’s jank stream on twitch. Decided to share on Valentine’s Day, and then it snowballed into posts in #clojure #clojurescript #scittle and here :) https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03SRH97FDK/p1771111015924489

Honestly wanted to make an ode to Fennel as well, but found the clock soon striking midnight when I’d finished the five. Perhaps Valentine can have the whole weekend 💝
