Clojure Discord server

[Luke Burton]

Hi all,

After reading about some of the hassles people had with Slack, I posted earlier today in /r/clojure A Discord for Clojurians. 

We've had about 50 people pass through the Discord so far. Please drop by and see if you like it. To reiterate what I mentioned in the reddit post – this is very much an experiment, and a fun one at that. 

I spent a portion of today hacking together a repl-bot that lives in #repl-bot. Everything said in that channel will be evaluated in a very non-judgemental manner by the repl-bot. Even, as we discovered, System/exit. All part of the fun.

We also found that Clojure has full syntax highlighting support in Discord. So far, threaded conversations are the major missing feature as compared to Slack. 

Hopefully this little experiment will help the community figure out future directions for reliable community collaboration, whatever they may be.

Luke.
