Ep 057: Clojure/Conj 2019 Recap

November 29, 2019

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you'd like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to feedback@clojuredesign.club, or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: "Clojure/Conj 2019 Recap" We go through our notes and recall the most memorable talks from the Conj last week.

Selected quotes:

"Cold climate, warm people."
"Learn skills that transfer."
"The future is about immutability and composability."
"YAML! YAML! YAML! The names of an episode we have not done, and probably will not do."
"If you can make solving problems easier by using Clojure, then there is a lot of incentive to learn and use Clojure."
"You can't get rid of bias, even when you know you have it. All you can do is change how you work."
"The Conj has become less about Clojure and more about solving problems."
