An opinionated list of excellent Clojure learning materials

These resources (articles, books, and videos) are useful when you're starting to learn the language, or when you're learning a specific part of the language. This an opinionated list, no doubt. I've compiled this list from writing and teaching Clojure over the last 10 years.

• 🔴 Mandatory (for both beginners and intermediates)
• 🟩 For beginners
• 🟨 For intermediates

gif-from-tweet

There are so many great GIFs out there and I want to have copies of them. Twitter makes that harder than it should be by converting them to MP4 and not providing access to the source material. To make it easier, I made a bash pipeline that takes a tweet URL and a filename, extracts the MP4 from that tweet and uses ffmpeg to convert back to GIF.

Dependencies

• ffmpeg
  • macOS: brew install ffmpeg
  • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install ffmpeg

Code Splitting

NOTE: This gist uses the master branch of ClojureScript. Clone ClojureScript and from the checkout run ./script/bootstrap and ./script/uberjar. This will produce target/cljs.jar which you can use to follow this guide.

As client applications become larger it becomes desirable to load only the code actually required to run a particular logical screen. Previously ClojureScript :modules compiler option permitted such code splitting, but this feature only worked under :advanced compilation and users would still have to manage loading these splits. :modules also required manual

Rich Already Answered That!

A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.

How to use:

• The link in the table of content jumps at the copy of the answer on this page.
• The link on the answer itself points back at the original post.

Clojure Developer for Malware Analysis Product

The ThreatGRID team at Cisco is looking for experienced clojure developers to work on our large scale, malware analysis product. Our entire platform is built on Clojure, from the the API services, around the event processing subsystem, and down to the core.logic analysis engine.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would
