Can jank beat Clojure's error reporting? (jank-lang.org)
Hey folks! I've spent the past quarter working on jank's error messages. I've focused on reaching parity with Clojure's error reporting and improving upon it where possible.

RPub: A free open-source CMS written in Clojure (radsmith.com)
Today I'm releasing a new project called rPub. While this is a currently an alpha project, I'd be happy to get feedback if you want to try it out. For the upcoming releases I'll be focusing on stability and improving the core features so that it can eventually be used for production sites.

Why Clojure? (gaiwan.co)
Clojure is not one of the handful of "big" mainstream languages. This means that sometimes people are surprised that we are all in on Clojure. Why go against the grain? Why make it harder for yourself by building on niche technology?

Clojure core.async.flow (github.com/clojure)
The fundamental objective of core.async.flow is to enable a strict separation of your application logic from its topology, execution, communication, lifecycle, monitoring and error handling, all of which are provided by and centralized in, c.a.flow, yielding more consistent, robust, testable, observable and operable systems.

Why I Chose Common Lisp (djhaskin.com)
After ~7 years, I was done with Clojure. I was writing a some CLI apps, and I hated how long they took to start up. The community at large seemed not to care about this problem, except for the babashka folks. However, I spent long, hard hours banging my head against native-image and it just wasn't working out. It was incredibly painful, and at the end of it, I still didn't have standalone, fast-starting native executables.

Why we built Vade Studio in Clojure (vadelabs.com)
A server crash during a Valentine's date became the turning point. The pursuit of technical complexity was costing more than just code - it was costing life itself. This is a story of how three developers built an ambitious no-code platform using Clojure.

Clojure Don'ts: Concat (stuartsierra.com)
concat is a tricky little function. The name suggests a way to combine two collections. And it is, if you have only two collections. But it’s not as general as you might think. It’s not really a collection function at all. It’s a lazy sequence function. The difference can be important.

Method Values (fogus.me)
Prior to discovering Clojure back in 2007, I was a full-time Java programmer. This was long before method handles, method references, lambda expressions, and invokedynamic, so viewing Java through a functional programming lens was not second-nature to me. Regardless, during my early Clojure explorations I fully expected code like the following to “just work”:

Rama on Clojure's terms, and the magic of continuation-passing style (redplanetlabs.com)
Rama is a platform with huge applicability, able to express all the computation and storage for a backend at any scale. Just like the UNIX philosophy of composing simple programs to do more complex tasks, Rama is based on simple building blocks that compose for any backend use case.
