Clojure lets you focus on solving real problems (as opposed to the language's problems), and this yields unique long-term benefits. I've written about them in this article and have highlighted a dozen Clojure companies that are hiring and will train you:

I wrote a thing!

From Tables to Graphs: How to Model Entities in a Graph Database

"graph dbs use a different paradigm for modeling data than you're used to with relational dbs. This guide will lead you from the relational world to the graph world..." https://t.co/hk85MXX05W

Today @FlureePBC is launching their public preview of Fluree, a JSON-LD database. I worked with them to create excellent docs explaining RDF/graph data and how they "future-proof" your data. Check out https://t.co/hk85MXX05W to learn a new way to think about data systems 😊

I occasionally get messages like this for https://t.co/99un8jkxt1 😊 really happy with how this project has turned out

@borkdude not gonna lie my first thought when I saw the picture was "borkdude's pregnant???"

Hope it goes easy for you!

new experiment! this lets you define a “virtual service” in a library that a client can provide a handler for. immediate use case is to make it possible to have a library interact with a data store when you don’t know what data store the client is using https://t.co/SVxa9m5oaW

Another experiment: hooked, a library that introduces an extensibility mechanism for optional side effects. It aids in creating libraries that encapsulate both a workflow, and side effects to perform at specified points in the workflow.

Writing a programming major mode is much easier now that you don't have to write an intricate web of regexp and code to power the font lock and indentation engine in #Emacs.

Here's how to write a #treesitter powered major mode

SISYPHUS: what’s up guys today we’re making another attempt at getting boulder to 100% of summit. My current record is 98% but I’ve come up with a new strategy that might get us–Wow, magnes just donated 50 free subs, can we get some laurels in the chat for magnes

The fantasy of an easily categorized world is seductive in the face of fear of the future, but do not be fooled by snake oil salesmen into missing that its complexity is the font of its beauty. The world will always surprise you.

@jeeger @borkdude Oh I changed that. Now to get a PDF you have to pay me 🤑

Babashka is a Clojure scripting runtime created by @borkdude, and this guide will show you how to get productive with it!

Includes links to free PDF and epub downloads

Enjoy! 🎉

@mmwaikar It’s the same

The most annoying people in the world love to say there is no objective difference between good code and bad code

So I made a list of 15

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz

[Daniel Higginbotham @nonrecursive]

@amithgeorge @NPException Yeah that's where I started too, wanting to very explicitly only allow two options. I don't know, maybe I'll just move back to that; constraints can often be your friends

[Daniel Higginbotham @nonrecursive]

Alright I think graphputer is ready for prime time 😎 I've updated the syntax a little so you can validate the values you're puting, and I've released it to Clojars: https://t.co/Wje1zOV3Wu

[Daniel Higginbotham @nonrecursive]

@amithgeorge I like the idea! Definitely worth playing around with it

[Daniel Higginbotham @nonrecursive]

@amithgeorge @NPException suggested nodes could handle multiple branches, and I think it's useful to support that. Plus I like having a goto keyword :P I think [::puter/goto :fail] is a little more explicit and I think that makes it clearer

[Daniel Higginbotham @nonrecursive]

BREAKING I've updated https://t.co/Wje1zOV3Wu to satisfy @NPException's demand that a node handle arbitrary branching. With the powerful [::puter/goto node-name] syntax you can now do just that! This continues our unbroken record of far outpacing Electric Clojure's development 😏
