@plexus Congratulations and well done! Wish I could have joined the party.

@plexus Thanks again for this, it was a lot of fun 😊

@plexus congratulations! Will you publish videos for those who couldn’t make it?

Heart of Clojure is organized by a very small team, and due to health and family reasons some of us have had less availability than expected, or even won't be able to be present during the conference at all. This means we're running on even more of a skeleton crew than anticipated, and with four weeks to go there's still a lot to do.

I really hope some folks in the community will step up so we can lighten the load. We've put our heart and soul into this event, now it's your turn.

@plexus I "sort of" disagree. LLMs are a search tool, much in the same way dictionaries and thesauruses are. While these two tools have rigor applied to their construction, there is always a layer of subjectivity that is attributed to the human being(s) that compiled them. When all that is taken into account, they can still be used to augment a process that is creative and authentic.So - I only "sort of" disagree because your critique nails all the ways this critical concept is most often lost.

@plexus
Indeed. The magic of human thought itself has been devalued.

@plexus someone said to me, they wanted AI to come in to do work so I can spend more time doing art, not do art so I can do more work.

@plexus The ticket site asks me to assign the diversity scholarship contribution to me/somebody else. I can just ignore that, right?

@plexus Excited 😊

@plexus Ansible, if it counts (I guess by modern standards there are 10x and 100x tools that do the same)

@plexus Syncthing, definitely 10x simpler than e.g. Dropbox

@plexus Sublime Text, if you compare it to VS Code

@plexus would love to, but the abnormally large design of tabs irks me the wrong way, and Firefox no longer has themes that change that, instead they now have something more akin to skins, not real themes they used to.

@plexus I've been using it as a daily driver for a couple of years now, I can recommend it but it's no Camino

@plexus trying to remember the last time I ran into a page that broke in firefox but worked in chromium but I can't, it's been years and years

@plexus the project page is not clear on this, are they aware of the already ongoing projects in this area or not? For example #RailBaltica ? Lot of things are already being done

@plexus please think about the people BETWEEN the capitals first.

@plexus
Is knowledge in Clojure a precondition?

@plexus You mean, like Hy for Python, or Fennel for Lua?

I did find a few Lisp interpreters written in Rust, but that might not be what you meant.

@plexus I tend to only use sets as functions when it’s a set literal or otherwise very obvious that the value is a set. contains? makes it much more readable in most cases IMO

@plexus Isn't there quite strong concensus that functions ending in question mark should return boolean? Sets return the item, which isn't boolean, necessarily.

@plexus an interesting idea! I love sets as functions to the point where i hardly use `=` anymore.
