Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

I'm looking around for options; got a few job applications out, but if you're hiring for Clojure work (or, somehow, Lua???) let me know
I have a lot of friends who have been looking for work for a long time and finding basically nothing, so I get that this is a bad time to do this, but I just can't stay with things going like that
cljfmt 0.16.0 has been released. cljfmt is a code formatter for #clojure, and this release adds more options for configuring form alignment. Thanks go to Jon Ramos for submitting the PRs. https://github.com/weavejester/cljfmt

Just spent a while trying to work out why my initial websocket messages weren't being sent, only to discover that the Firefox websocket inspector misses messages that are sent immediately after the websocket opens. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1719394

There was no discussion on how requiring UK adults to submit identifying information to third-party age-gating companies is a security risk. There was no discussion on whether Ofcom's ability to issue Technology Notices to force companies to insert backdoors into their E2E encryption undermines security for everyone.
As far as I can can tell, at no point was any subject matter expert consulted on the OSA.
I found it interesting to read the transcript of the UK petitions committee debate on the Online Safety Act today. Most of the discussion was on the dangers posed to children online; some of it was about smaller forums being unduly burdened; none of was about the many technical issues with the bill.

The annual State of #Clojure survey is available! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/clojure2025
@msladecek That's another excellent suggestion! A little harder to create sticky-note equivalents than tldraw but perhaps more flexible.
@mkvlr Thanks, that's just what I'm looking for!
Does anyone have any recommendations for simple collaborative online whiteboards? I need something that can add sticky-notes, has realtime collaboration, and allows users to join via a share link (without needing a login).
I've created a Homebrew tap to install the #clojure code formatter, cljfmt:
brew install weavejester/brew/cljfmt
@psc Thanks! That's just the sort of feedback I was looking for. I'll update the docstrings to make them clearer and see if I can add some examples as well.
@psc Thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear that the Duct redesign is working for you. I'd be interested to know if you have any suggestions for improvements, now that you're built an app in it.
Weavejester boosted:
@weavejester James - I've used a few different generations of Duct starting from around 2017 when I realized it was a much better version of my Compojure Frankenstein's monster.
I absolutely love this iteration of it - just used it to rig up an invoice processing web app on my home server and I don't think I've ever gotten off the ground that fast in any language or stack before. Thank you so, so much for standardizing your workflows so others can fly too!
I've returned to an old #clojure project of mine: a simple templating system called Comb that was inspired by Ruby's erb library.
Comb hasn't changed for 10 years, so long past time it was made stable. I've released version 1.0.0 with the only change being some extra clj-kondo metadata to make it work better with linting.
Weavejester boosted:
Awesome to hear Davis Shepherd and Jonathan Indig from Netflix talk about how stable the Clojure / Datomic ecosystem has been over the past 10 years, especially in comparison to the number of breaking changes that other open-source infrastructure projects have gone through in the same amount of time.
The talk is called ”A Decade on Datomic” for when videos are published
Weavejester boosted:
Had a blast at the #clojureconj (my first ever). Met so many familiar and new faces, almost non-stop. Can't believe it's already over and I'm on my way back tomorrow!
