Notes

The first three months of Clojurists Together funding for clj-http and Figwheel are coming to a close, and we’re looking for projects to fund for the next three months. We’ve published survey results on the kinds of projects our memebers are looking to support and a call for proposals. Applications close on 22 April. Please reach out to the libraries and projects that you rely on and encourage them to apply for funding.

If you’re a sponsor of Clojurists Together, thanks heaps for your support!

I’m trying out different formats and email providers for this newsletter, let me know if you have any thoughts on the changes.

“What do you get when you combine a really crappy Mario clone, with an even crappier clone of the Donkey Kong theme song? Well if your answer is lawsuits you might be right but it’s for a good cause.” (ClojureScript audio in the browser)
