Clojure devs

[Andrew Stoeckley]

Any Clojure devs out there interested in a meetup specific to Clojure and ClojureScript? I've been envious of all the other cities with large Clojure communities, surely Singapore can join in on the fun. I use Clojure full-time now for everything I do and it would be nice to meet others doing the same, or who are interested in this neat language.

Hi, Andrew

I started clojure several months ago. Just use it for some utilities in my project. I also like to meet someone could share the interests and experience.

Btw: I found a clojure group in LinkedIn, but not active.

I think @zehua is still organizing some clojure meetup.

Hi,

Just one month ago, I was in Australia for Lambda Jam, and after it, a workshop for teaching Clojure to ladies. Here is the fork for the curriculum.

https://github.com/sgfp/curriculum

And I had a chat with Aussie developers. Clojure is in the upper trend to catch up with RoR in web development. And also in data, think why Incantor and Datomic are written in Clojure. I think it's interesting to learn and use it.

Coming back to the point of meeting, let's try not to split further into language groups with a small total participants now.

Let's still organize meeting as SingFun and we can talk everything there. No language isolationism, absolutely.

Best Regards, ( Yang-Ye )

Agree.

I think we could compare Haskell and clojure language and application, to help our understanding.

Like Fay vs ClojursScript

Given a bit of lead time, I could probably put together a fun demo of
the exciting asynchronous programming tools that were added to Clojure
last year that basically offer everything the Go language does ...
even in single-threaded environments like Javascript. In a purely
functional way, of course.

Sounds awesome, I am looking forward to that. :)

I'm freshly learning a lot of this stuff for the first time myself and
could share what I've discovered, but I'm by no means expertly
experienced with it (yet!). I had suggested a language-specific meetup
for Clojure since I gather from prior meetups that this is primarily a
Haskell group. While it would be fun to demonstrate the basics of
Clojure, it would also be very useful to specifically meet with other
devs actively using Clojure in production to discuss more
language-specific techniques and domains.

It's great to hear that there is another person full time on Clojure.

There's a linkedin group: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=3877912

There's also a clojuresg mailing list on google groups.

The guys just had a data dojo not long ago.

Hi guys we have revived the Clojure group here in Singapore. We are planning a meetup in late June. Signup to ClojureSG at http://www.meetup.com/Singapore-Clojure-Meetup/ to stay abreast of developments.

Great to see the various communities gaining critical mass =) Just wondering, does anybody know who is using Clojure in Singapore? What are they using it for, besides data science and fintech?

[AndrewS]

Hi Zan -- we use Clojure full-stack in both browser and server for consumer web software development. Though that's not a fair answer to your question since our company left Singapore a few months and we are now in the Netherlands. ClojureScript has become a powerful tool for functional lisp programming in the browser (compiles to Javascript).
