ure), which is Clojure in Common Lisp. - There's Clojerl (https://www.clojerl.org/), which is Clojure for the Erlang VM. - There's Pixie (https://blog.goodstuff.im/pixie), with Clojure syntax, but compiling to native. - There's Ferret (<https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret>) which is Clojure transpiled to C++11. - There are some Lisps that have borrowed Clojure's syntax: - Janet <https://janet-lang.org/> - Carp <https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp> There are a variety of other Lisp-like languages listed here: https://github.com/dundalek/awesome-lisp-languages Apologies for the formatting.

o propane tanks. - services to allow customers to manage and purchase care plans - transactional push notifications Our tech stack is: Clojure (for everything!), GraphQL, Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis, Prometheus, Ruby (for some infrastructure tasks) Here's a few things we value that you should have: - A self-starter, self-accountable, curious, and DIY attitude. A lot of our bedrock technology is home-grown and written to solve our own unique Walmart-scale problems. One of the engineers on our team wrote an entire Clojure dialect (https://github.com/candid82/joker/), and scripts written in that language now do a lot of heavy lifting of our own infrastructure. - A good intuition for writing code that won't fall over under pressure and handles failure states well. We deploy daily and a null pointer might impact millions of requests in a few minutes. - An interest in doing DevOps-y stuff and a high expectation in good monitoring. We have full ownership of the life-cycle of our code and the servers it runs on. - The ability to think and work in functional languages (Clojure) - Experience writing distributed systems with a lot of message passing We've got a unique holiday shopping season coming up, and we'd love to have you join the team.

g people would be: "CSP be is cool," Clojure people: "Awesome, we'll borrow it just the way how you did it. Also, we like Golang, we're going to write a Clojure interpreter and linter in it.³" - R people: "Clojure is data-driven? Pfff... you know nothing about statistics ...." Clojure people: - "Oh yeah R is cool, btw. we've just figured out a way to interop from Clojure⁴." - Elixir people: "BEAM is way better than your JVM crap...", Clojure people: "Not really, but okay, we see your point, we'll build Clojure on BEAM⁵" - JS/TS people say things like "Modern Javascript is so nice, who needs Clojure now?" They get excited about stuff like React Hooks, and Clojure people: "Hmmm... actually we had a better way of dealing with stateful UI components for a few years now. We've been trying to tell you, but you never listened..." They've been saying, "Clojure is dead" for years now. But despite all the odds, Clojure is very much alive and thriving. It's the most popular language within languages with a strong FP emphasis. Just look around - it has more books, more jobs, more podcasts, more conferences, and meetups than of Haskell, OCaml, Purescript, Elm, Elixir, F#. I suggest people from other PL communities learn from Clojure people. It is a small but diverse and very friendly community of pragmatists - while others keep shoveling the same shit from one corner to another, trying to re-invent things over and over again, Clojurists keep borrowing good ideas and filtering out bad ones. And calmly and quietly keep building cool stuff and getting paid for it⁶. ¹ https://dragan.rocks ² https://github.com/clj-python/libpython-clj ³ https://github.com/candid82/joker ⁴ https://github.com/scicloj/clojisr ⁵ https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl ⁶ https://bit.ly/3a3wxNH

for now. Anyways, I really recommend the use of Joker. Its awesome for scripting. I just put its binary in all my bin folders and script with it. It's great.
