    Wife and I took the day off. I recommend it, London is a different place when you're not in the office ☀️

    Today I did the first of a series of workshops introducing Clojure to my fellow programmers in the office. Spreading the word, new purpose.

    Also, as a Clojure programmer for the last 5 years, I hope to be able to help out beginners this way.

    In light of the recent Clojure debate, and in support of Clojure, I'm going to join the IRC and Slack channels.

    I've figured out the crappy cafe round the corner: if you ask for a flat white, it'll come out as a latte; cortado, you'll get a flat white.

    However, Elm made me install npm, and it feels easier to compose dom components in Clojurescript/Om than in Elm. That type system though ✊🏼

    As a Clojurescript guy, I appreciated not having to write special JS (externs) to get ELM-JS interop.

    Elm, first impression: JS interop is excellent. Idea behind ports is neat; keeps Elm protected, and also keeps project def tidy -- no noise

    In the short time-18 months-I've been programming for finance, I've met lots of people both horny over low-latency, and turned off with FP.

    Me: Okay Google, show me my calendar for this week. G: Pay bills, take vitamins. So basically don't die and leave family in debt; exciting.

    D'you know how they say don't eat before swimming? Turns out it's very good advice.

    You're either a decent person, or a person that misspells people's names when you IM or email them.

    I can literally hear the fans in the Emirates from my flat. What an atmosphere it must be right now

    Found an old Spanish text book from my university days; it had chapter 1 ear-marked. I'm a long way beyond chapter 1 these days

    Wow, I always get slightly existential when the weather is changing. I'm ready for the colder months...
