Clojure is as much a 'Guest Language' on the JVM as Scala or Kotlin.

We build a product in Clojure that runs on the JVM and in the browser ( https://kpow.io ). Clojure/Clojurescript gives us a language/toolset that works in both the front and back ends. In some cases we have we have code

Stripe Atlas cost me US$500. For that I got a Delaware C-Corp, an SVB bank account, and $5k of AWS credits that expired after 12 months. Our AWS bill in that first 12 months was roughly $5k. Money well spent.

I have deployed and run Cassandra myself, basically as you describe. The first 'dev' Cassandra install was three nodes. I downloaded the .tar.gz, installed it, started each process in turn on each node with the required configurat

The parse-*, update-keys, update-vals, and random-uuid functions are great additions to core. I look forward to dropping the custom versions from each of my projects!

Not the OP but our product falls into the 'specialty engineering software' category. We build an enterprise ready tool for teams working with Apache Kafka ( https://kpow.io ) and offer an hourly price. The deliverable is

Not right away no, but it will help to have an understanding of Java/JVM for Clojure and Browser/Javascript for Clojurescript if you are intending on building real systems.

Thanks for sharing - you've spotted the hole in my experience. I tend to lead more on the JVM and I have talented team-mates who drive the architecture on the JS side. I love being able to contribute both front and back end feature-wis

I've been programming in Clojure professionally for roughly ten years now. It's a great language and extremely effective if you're building products both on the JVM and in the browser. I think I've written a handful of m

I'm not quite sure what 'housing' means in that quote because CPI specifically excludes most housing costs. RPI takes into account housing costs such as mortgage interest payments, building insurance etc. I'm not sure wh

Yes, in two ways. First - kPow also stores all telemetry in internal topics (and also keeps an audit-log in another topic for data governance). Setting up multi-cluster is fairly easy and kPow stores data in the first configured cluster - s

See https://kpow.io - if you would like a trial license let me know. 6k topics is fine, might need slight tuning which is easily done (6k groups slightly more complicated).

Multi-Tenancy is probably worth a link: https://kpow.io/how-to/manage-kafka-visibility-with-multi-te... kPow gives you the ability to restrict visibility of Kafka resources down to a group or topic level by user-role,

Four eyes spying on your citizens and sending reports back to your intelligence agency is sort of the point of Five Eyes (well, one of the points). It ain't cheating if you're not spying on your own people.

It's complex. When I first moved to Australia I rankled at compulsory voting as I believe that not participating is a valid political act. Countries without compulsory voting talk about the turnout as relative to previous years, and if

For kids only? I've been working with Kafka for a decade and found this to be an absolute delight.

Honestly I can't wait for perpetual topics backed by S3 integrated with MSK. If the AWS team aren't working on it I will eat my own shoes. Let me know how you go with kPow! If you want a guided tour just let me know. :) ps. we&#x2

We build a complete drop in replacement for Confluent's metrics/management tooling ( https://kpow.io ) that fills a very large gap in the engineering experience for Kafka. I say replacement but tbh we offer a lot more in

In my experience I found the ability to produce a similar functional deliverable (e.g. a webservice or similar) in Clojure as I was able to in my previous language (Java) was the most important factor in my learning and continuing with Cloj

I've been working commercially with Clojure for ten years. My gut feeling is the language is well subscribed and growing at a flat rate. That's fine by me.

This is exactly how we shipped our JQ-like product feature in 62 lines of Clojure. Just pure functions composed into a single predicate and and a decent grammar to interpret the input JQ.
