Episode 8. ClojureScript is a Clojure killer app, with Jereme Corrado, Mobot
In the 8th episode, meet our guest Jereme Corrado, the former CTO of Mobot and a Clojure enthusiast since 2016. Jereme shares his extensive programming journey, emphasizing the importance of quality engineering and the challenges and rewards of adopting Clojure.Clojure acts as a filter for hiring skilled developers genuinely interested in the language. We discussed the same idea in the 3rd episode: when interviewing seasoned Clojure developers, you can always learn something new. This aspect is critical in building a strong engineering team, especially in startup environments.Jereme describes successful projects he has worked on, how Clojure popped up on his radar, and how he introduced it to the team. Listen to this episode to know if Clojure matters and what unique strengths and weaknesses it represents.Worth your attention:Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs: https://web.mit.edu/6.001/6.037/sicp.pdfClojure Yetibot: https://yetibot.comFreshcode Clojure team: https://www.freshcodeit.com/services/clojure-development-company

Episode 7. And until you get to that point, you should be living in pain, right? - with Nathan Marz, Red Planet Labs
In the 7th episode, we speak with Nathan Marz, founder of Red Planet Labs and creator of Apache Storm, about his 15-year programming journey and the challenges of building scalable systems in Clojure. Nathan shares his experiences with Clojure and his innovative work on Rama, a platform designed to simplify software development.Our conversation covers testing techniques like with-redefs for debugging, the challenges of hiring Clojure developers, and the architecture's approach to event sourcing and materialized views. Nathan explains why Clojure was the ideal choice for Rama and highlights his team's learning curve and the need for strong engineering expertise.Worth your attention:https://paulgraham.com/avg.htmlhttps://storm.apache.org/releases/2.2.1/Clojure-DSL.htmlhttps://redplanetlabs.com/https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2021/06/03/tour-of-our-250k-line-clojure-codebase/Blog posts:Deep dive into how we reduced the line count for building the Twitter consumer product at scale by 100x: https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2023/08/15/how-we-reduced-the-cost-of-building-twitter-at-twitter-scale-by-100x/Introduction to Rama's Clojure API: https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2023/10/11/introducing-ramas-clojure-api/Post focused on Rama's new programming paradigm https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2024/10/10/rama-on-clojures-terms-and-the-magic-of-continuation-passing-style/Introduction to Rama's instant migrations and how they work https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2024/09/30/migrating-terabytes-of-data-instantly-can-your-alter-table-do-this/#clojure #productdevelopment #java #c++ #softwaredevelopment #freshcode

Real-life product stories and insights from top Clojure leaders.We launched this podcast because we're fascinated by a paradox: Clojure is an exceptional language with a powerful philosophy behind it, yet it remains relatively niche in the industry. By talking to teams who've actually implemented Clojure in production, we're trying to understand this disconnect.Is there something fundamental limiting Clojure's adoption, or is it just circumstantial?Through conversations with people, who've taken the leap and built real systems with Clojure, we're exploring whether they would "do it again" — and more importantly, why or why not. We're hoping these real-world stories can help understand Clojure's place in the industry and perhaps shed light on its future potential.Visit our podcast page: freshcodeit.com/podcast
