Welcome to the Clojure Deref! This is a weekly link/news roundup for the Clojure ecosystem. (@ClojureDeref RSS)

Highlights

Several highlights to point out this week:

  • Thanks to the persistent efforts of Rob Stuttaford and the generosity of Slack, the Clojurians Slack channel now has a Pro account!

  • Nubank is now listed as NU on the NYSE - fun to see Clojure devs at a bell ringing!

  • Clojure users Kevel (formerly Adzerk) raised $10M and are planning to do more hiring!

  • Daniel Slutsky posted a request for discussion on extending the great work the SciCloj folks have been doing around teaching and learning to the broader Clojure community

In the core

This week has been a bit scattered, but we continue to work through some tickets related to the (soon to be) clojure.math. I want to especially thank Paula Gearon for all of the work she’s done lately to create a CLJS port of the ns so that we can have a great portable math library.
