• Robert Herrmann has created a directory of Clojure consultants. He’s also available for hire himself.
• The videos from clojureD 2017 are up.
• David Nolan - Idée Fixe at GOTO Chicago 2017.
• A big discussion on Reddit about Clojure’s future growth

Libraries & Books.

• re-frankenstein is a deviant fork (their words!) of re-frame. It allows you to run re-frame without global state. I’ve been thinking about this a lot, so it’s helpful to see some other ideas.
• Towards Cortex 1.0 (a machine learning toolkit in Clojure)
• You can now use Specter paths with EDN via specter-edn
• CUDA matrices in Clojure with Neanderthal

People are worried about Types. ?

But they’re staying quiet this week.

Foundations.

• JVM Anatomy Park: String.intern()
• Why does Go not implement a compacting, generational GC?
• Java SE 8u131 brings support for cgroup CPU and memory limits, allowing their use with Docker containers.
• Steve Yegge on his newfound love of Kotlin.

Tools.

• Daily Clojure workflow with CIDER
• Lambda Island on Emacs and Clojure tooling
• The always entertaining Bozhidar Batsov with another sip of CIDER at :clojureD 2017

Recent Developments.

• Alex Miller has requested comments for var printing, relating to serialisation support for vars in EDN.
• Thomas Heller has a new take on ClojureScript and npm
• CLJ-2075: unroll comparisons to include three arity versions

Learning.

• Cognitect have a bunch of useful articles about Datomic usage on their support site.
• ClojuTRE 2017 is open for ticket sales and an RFP

Misc.

• I transcribed Bryan Cantrill talking about integrity at GOTO. I’d strongly encourage you to read it and listen to the whole discussion.
