Welcome to the Clojure Deref! This is a weekly link/news roundup for the Clojure ecosystem. (@ClojureDeref RSS)
In case you’ve somehow been off the Internet for the last week, some critical vulnerabilities have been identified in log4j (logback also has an update), and whatever you use for logging in your Clojure application should probably be updated, so go take a look at your deps.
If you missed re:Clojure 2021, you can now find all of the Data Science day videos and many of the conference videos are becoming available as well.
Fogus has been crunching his way through screening a lot of CLJ jiras for the 1.11 release and working on a transit-java and transit-clojure update. I’ve been continuing to work on some of the Clojure math stuff, looking at different approaches for inlining to overloaded Math methods. I think that’s on to a new approach but still in the middle of it. In all, the whole journey of this stuff is kind of a good case study in dev on the Clojure team so I might try to write something a bit longer about it later.
I also released a new edit of Rich’s Design, Composition, and Performance talk today from PhillyETE in 2013. The first incarnation of that talk was at Clojure/west in 2013 but unfortunately there were technical issues and we did not end up with a recording of it. But this is a very good version and I was able to snag the original source video from the videographer (Tim Ducharme at http://digitalplayhouse.ca/) and got the other resources from Philly ETE and InfoQ, so thanks to all of them.
