Reminder to check out Scicloj's very first miniconf this Friday and Saturday! Free and virtual, this is for anyone interested in working with data in Clojure. The schedule spans many timezones so something should be on no matter where in the world you are! scicloj.github.io/scinoj-light...

I've been working on an IDE written in pure clojure. Here's a brief demo: youtu.be/hpjJJqnkqCw?...

#Tableplot is a #Clojure #datavis library inspired by #rstats #ggplot2 layered #grammarofgraphics. It now supports some new plot types using @plotly.com, and the documentation has been improved following user feedback in #Scicloj community meetings and Zulip chat. scicloj.github.io/tableplot/

I tried squint + vite + the vite react plugin, but discovered that due to the usage of gensym for let bindings, state wasn't preserved across reloads. Making the compiler more deterministic fixes this (but needs work in many other places still) #squintcljs #clojurescript #clojure
