Welcome to the Clojure Deref! This is a weekly link/news roundup for the Clojure ecosystem. (@ClojureDeref RSS)
All of the Clojure/conj 2023 videos have been re-posted with an intro screen that includes our wonderful platinum and streaming sponsors! Apologies those were missing. Also, you can now find the slides for Rich Hickey’s talk Design in Practice, which many people have requested. Happy designing!
This week Stack Overflow opened their 2023 Developer Survey - it is very important that our community continues to show up in these results, so I would beseech you to take a few minutes and fill it out (a lot of it is optional). This year, in addition to Clojure being included in the languages section, Datomic was included for the first time in the Databases section, and Shortcut (written in Clojure) showed up in the developer tools.
Fogus and I have come up out of fog of Conj and diving back into the Clojure 1.12 work. Sean Corfield has been very helpful in tracking down a very subtle regression in the IDrop changes in 1.12.0-alpha1 (CLJ-2772) and we should have that fixed for the next alpha. Additionally, I’ve been working through feedback on add-libs and Fogus on Morse feedback and we are taking care of those.
On new feature work, I’ve been working on our approach to Java functional interface interop, and Fogus has been working on some Java stream integration and a possibly new piece of syntax for using Java static methods as functions. We are hoping to land most or all of that in 1.12.
