Digital Digressions by Stuart Sierra
From programming to everything else
Another year, another year-in-review post. To be honest, I feel like any attempt I make to summarize what happened in the Clojure world this year is largely moot. Clojure has gotten so big, so — dare I say it? — mainstream that I can’t even begin to keep up with all the interesting things that…
My unscientific, incomplete, thoroughly biased view of interesting things that happened with Clojure in 2014.
This is my third Clojure year-in-review post. In 2011 I was excited about Clojure 1.3, ClojureScript, and the second Clojure/conj. By 2012 I was blown away by four Clojure conferences, two O’Reilly books, reducers, Datomic, Immutant, and a partridge in a pear tree. For 2013, where do I even start? So much has happened this…

A new year is upon us. Before the world ends, let’s take a look back at what 2011 meant for everybody’s favorite programming language: Clojure 1.3.0 was released, bringing better performance to numeric applications, reader syntax for record types, and other enhancements. ClojureScript was unveiled to the world, leading to universal confusion about how to…
From 2011 to 2015, I wrote an annual Clojure Year in Review post, attempting to summarize all the interesting things that happened in Clojure in the last year. After 2015, I gave up. There was just too much happening, and I couldn’t keep track of it all. A couple of years ago, I got tired…
