C# Brain Teasers

Definitely possible! The book is targeted at JVM Clojure so it would not surprise me if some of them gave different results in ClojureScript.

BOOM! What a beautiful #SolarFlare (just now). This eruptive event reached the X-class level, and produced this stunning coronal mass ejection. The flare source region will rotate to face Earth in the coming week. Further strong solar activity is likely! #spaceweather

I was on the Apropos #Clojure show giving a tour of my programmatic #chiptune software.

The audience and hosts were so supportive, I was unprepared for the level of excitement generated just from some simple notes and noises made with code.

I am open to suggestions; I've really hard to make that useful documentation.

I've updated the warning message for the next release to include whatever args you passed, I think that will be clearer

Would the message be clearer if it repeated your args?

You just use -M then the clojure.main options: -M -m main. Examples are in the help, the man page, and the docs clojure.org/reference/cl...

My favourite thing about Clojure is that there are no "migration guides".. no need to write, read, or use them. You just update your dependencies if and when you want to, then carry on. This is how it should be.

I'm running State of ClojureScript 2024 Survey state-of-clojurescript.com If you ever wanted to know what's happening in cljs world, and using the language at work or for hobby projects, fill out the survey. And share it with others! Results will be shared in January next year.

We really need a Clojure Wrapped script that counts your parens for the year from your github commits

Oh, nothing worth sharing, I'm still very much learning. trying to just practice playing lead sheets / voice leading stuff mostly atm

Oh yeah, that’ll be good

I'm going to see the BEAT tour in a couple weeks, looking forward to it!

YouTube video by themetersfunk The Meters - People Say

Here's a musical selection for today ... "People Say" by The Meters. Can't go wrong with anything on this album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QYb...

Current hobby/learning portfolio: piano, synthesizers, beekeeping, astronomy, funk, financial planning, ways to transport giant dogs comfortably in cars, did I mention bees, live music.

I'm probably more likely to skeet about that stuff these days than Clojure, but prob some Clojure too.

There’s a ticket for this I believe

Seems like a good day to remember the superb owls and owlets we had in our yard last year
