@ekaitz_zarraga @sporiff yeah the fact that an uberjar is basically a container for free is amazing. All I need to deploy a clj app on a server is for it to have the JVM installed.

this seems accurate

A mere 100 companies are responsible for 71% of greenhouse emissions.

@ekaitz_zarraga Graal is pretty neat, somebody wrapped up my migratus lib into a standalone migration tool recently https://github.com/leafclick/pgmig

The startup for it is pretty much instant!

@ekaitz_zarraga I wrote something very similar to cache config docs a while back :)

@cbowdon nowadays I see Clojure as a helpful filter when hiring. It immediately removes any applicants who aren't interested in learning on the job.

The nature of the industry is that things are constantly changing, and you have to have the mindset that you will be doing continuous learning.

If the candidate isn't comfortable learning a new language they're likely not interested in keeping up in general.

Why Clojure? (Take 2: The Technical Side) https://medium.com/appsflyer/why-clojure-part-2-aace98151ce2

@alan yup, I worked with Java for around a decade and I was never able to contribute to a single library. Every time I'd find a bug or a feature I needed, I'd open the code and quickly nope out of it.

With Clojure, I can quickly figure out what a library does just by reading the code and trying things in the REPL most of the time.

The fact that this sort of thing isn't expected says a lot about our industry and general software development practices in my opinion.
