Summary Learning Clojure Syntax. Going the functional route I’ve been watching Rich Hickey talking about Clojure ideas, Datomic, etc. after the last post. He is a charismatic speaker, no question about it. But more than his charisma and persuasion, the ideas themselves are impressive. Simple in the real sense, I felt. There is a certain elegance, clarity and sanity in the functional world I feel. Less magic. Let’s go. Hello universe I will start with a basic clojure program - print ‘Hello Universe’.

Summary Not spending enough time these days due to other things I’m involved in. Going for Functional programming/Clojure for Zuperb. What’s happening? It’s been a couple of days since I last sat down for Zuperb. Pop and Mom are in town. They staying with my sister, but I’m visiting them in the evenings after work. There’s also a workation coming up - to Munnar on Friday. So I’ll be away from Zuperb for a couple more days.

Summary: Checking out some ideas on how to code well Indecision In the last one, I had resolved to build the backend for Zuperb in two frameworks - Flask and NestJS. After that, I was thinking Express is better than NestJS. I think I’m swinging between ‘batteries-included’ so that I can quickly build things vs. ‘bare-bones’ so that I can have more control and not carry things I don’t need.
