The fun thing about having a blog which is built with a static site generator is that you get to waste spend time customising it. In today's instalment of "Hacking the blog", we'll see how to add a "favicon", which is that little icon thingy on your tab title.My first order of business was to figure...

I’ve now completed a pass at removing the Flickr images from this blog (many of which no longer rendered) and made a few other changes. There were several posts that used embedded Gists as a way to get syntax highlighting and a download link for each file. In the spirit of using less bandwidth, cons...

How (and why) do you use React.forwardRef in Fulcro? Let’s first explore ref. When you need access to the raw HTMLElement in React - f.ex. to call .focus on it - you need to create a Ref object[1] (similar to Clojure’s atoms) and pass it to a React DOM element such as dom/div via the magical propert...

Somewhere I saw a question where one needs to print from 1 to a number in Clojure, and this is a way it could be done:;; print-n-numbers.clj (require '[clojure.string :as string]) (let [number 10] ; setting variable number (println ; let's print the joined sequence (string/join "\n" ; joini...

I’d like to share a Clojure trick I’ve been using for years. It’s simple, it makes your code safer; I always highlight it when making reviews. The trick is: don’t use the str function to concatenate strings. Instead, use format. A couple of examples:(let [username "Ivan"] (str "The user `" usernam...

You may not know that music instrument were connected devices even in the Stone Age, that is, many decades ago. In the 80's that even resulted in the standard that facilitated connectivity of heterogeneous devices. Typically, you'd have a keyboard, a synthesizer, some external knobs, maybe effect b...

Someone asked on Reddit: Why Clojure is not widely adopted like mainstream languages?Here's my answer:...

Do you want developers who have a very strong balance of passion for product and tech? I think elixir and clojure inhabit that space right now, even though they are tiny communities....

Introduction Clojure Transducers are a thing of beauty. They maybe hard to wrap your head around the first time, but are a joy to work with when it clicks. I’m not going to cover Transducers in this post, you can watch Lamdba Island’s video on transducers. All that you need to know is transducers ar...

I love to see that Clojure is used more and more at work and it does reflect in my own experience as well from when I was job searching recently. Seems that each time I do job searching there are more and more opportunities for Clojure.I'm also very happy with the Clojure ecosystem, which is flouris...

With the introduction of Deref (the Clojure weekly news blog) almost 1 year ago, the growth of the Clojure community has become readily evident in the periods between State of Clojure Surveys. The State of Clojure Survey highlights the effect of that growth: Clojure continues to strengthen it...
