The more programming languages I know, the more I understand that they all suck. Some suck less, though. #Clojure #programming #coding

"One little known fact that I found about using Clojure, is that it is an excellent language for implementing published algorithms in academic papers."

On Linux you can do this to set a default java version/jdk:
update-alternatives --list java # list it
update-alternatives --display java # see default
sudo update-alternatives --config java # choose a new
man update-java-alternatives # read docs https://twitter.com/vwbusguy/status/1459305138514…

Macrobrew gets a deref mention. It's been a good week.
On a serious note, the #clojure community has been very welcoming to me and I'm grateful for that.
I couldn't imagine being featured in a language's official newsletter.
Another reason to learn clojure :) https://twitter.com/ClojureDeref/status/1459206128336883723
