#Clojure is very often used to create wrappers around other libs. This is a testament to its excellent syntax and development environment that this is deemed worthwhile. But it also produces the curious effect that I've experienced many times: you inquire of the library steward, "How does this work?" or "how can I do XYZ?" and they respond, "I'm not sure..."

Nbb, a scripting environment like #babashka, but for Node.js, v0.0.75 now has built-in integration with applied-science/js-interop!
Thanks @mhuebert for the library and help.
See https://github.com/borkdude/nbb#js-interop for more details.
An excellent look at #clojure datastructures, particularly from a Java dev perspective. Quite old, apparently, so it doesn't know 1.10 innovations, but it's helpful if you need to play alongside Java. https://cemerick.com/blog/2011/07/05/flowchart-for-choosing-the-right-clojure-type-definition-form.html

I'm happy to announce Reveal Pro for #Clojure — https://vlaaad.github.io/reveal-pro — batteries included version of Reveal, so you can focus on problems with data and knowledge you need, available as soon as you need it.

A quick reminder that Deep Learning for Programmers 1.0 book has been published a few weeks ago. Superfast, explains nuts & bolts of fast tensor operations, works on CPU & GPU. Iterative and incremental, step by step explanations. #Clojure #MachineLearning https://aiprobook.com/deep-learning-for-programmers/
I just read Spectre's intro blog post, and I gained IQ. THIS is why I love working in #clojure -- how often things are learned that can make you smarter in every domain. http://nathanmarz.com/blog/clojures-missing-piece.html

So, the fine humans at @lambdaisland have smoothed the way to having the full #clojure REPL experience in #minecraft!
What a fun way to learn some Clojure, or, put your Clojure skills to use in a creative way!
And here are some great insider insights into why the Python choice was made, though I'd still like to "what if" compare with @draganrocks @uncomplicateorg #Clojure implementation. Would performance and better syntax be enough to justify the alternative?

Of course, mentioning BLAS makes me automatically think of @draganrocks and doing Tensorflow in Neanderthal... Worth implementing stuff in #Clojure or too much critical mass with Python?

RT @PjdPeter
@TaliaRinger There are only a few options if you want (a) to use BLAS libraries and (b) for it to be useable by a broad audience.
MATLAB has already proven that having a truly heinous language for gluing your numeric computations together…

What sold me on #clojure:
1) Functional programming
2) Lisp (REPL, macros, regular syntax)
3) Can use it for work (tap into existing ecosystem)
I was already sold at that point, but then came:
4) On backend and frontend
5) And scripting
More top-shelf work from @borkdude ! Checking it out now to see if it explains the miracle of graal. Wait... they have a page for that... enlightenment.... thanks for leading the way, borkdude!

Made a project which uses #clojure http://tools.build and #babashka together. It has shared code for both runtimes and prevent unnecessary rebuilds.
E.g. bb jar or bb uber immediately quit within milliseconds if there is nothing to…

This is one of the major benefits I've enjoyed about #Clojure Garden #css for four years: easy nesting of the rules. Nice to see css proper may catch up. https://github.com/noprompt/garden

Fantastic! 4Clojure was a great tool for years, until its owner passed away. This is a great looking port that I can't wait to try. #clojure https://github.com/PEZ/rich4clojure
