Clojure lets you focus on solving real problems (as opposed to the language's problems), and this yields unique long-term benefits. I've written about them in this article and have highlighted a dozen Clojure companies that are hiring and will train you: jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2…

I wrote a thing! From Tables to Graphs: How to Model Entities in a Graph Database "graph dbs use a different paradigm for modeling data than you're used to with relational dbs. This guide will lead you from the relational world to the graph world..." next.developers.flur.ee/docs…

Today @FlureePBC is launching their public preview of Fluree, a JSON-LD database. I worked with them to create excellent docs explaining RDF/graph data and how they "future-proof" your data. Check out next.developers.flur.ee/docs… to learn a new way to think about data systems 😊

Just published a new blog post: An Interactive Intro to CRDTs! It's the tangible, code-based introduction I always wanted, plus a bunch of interactive visualizations to help build an intuition for how CRDTs work. jakelazaroff.com/words/an-in…

new experiment! this lets you define a “virtual service” in a library that a client can provide a handler for. immediate use case is to make it possible to have a library interact with a data store when you don’t know what data store the client is using github.com/donut-party/servi…

Another experiment: hooked, a library that introduces an extensibility mechanism for optional side effects. It aids in creating libraries that encapsulate both a workflow, and side effects to perform at specified points in the workflow. github.com/donut-party/hooke…

Writing a programming major mode is much easier now that you don't have to write an intricate web of regexp and code to power the font lock and indentation engine in #Emacs. Here's how to write a #treesitter powered major mode masteringemacs.org/article/l…

The fantasy of an easily categorized world is seductive in the face of fear of the future, but do not be fooled by snake oil salesmen into missing that its complexity is the font of its beauty. The world will always surprise you.
There are two sexes. If you have XX chromosomes, you’re a woman. If you have XY chromosomes, you’re a man. Period. Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder. Affirming a kid’s confusion isn’t compassion. It’s cruelty. That’s the TRUTH.

Alright I think graphputer is ready for prime time 😎 I've updated the syntax a little so you can validate the values you're puting, and I've released it to Clojars: github.com/donut-party/graph…

BREAKING I've updated github.com/donut-party/graph… to satisfy @NPException's demand that a node handle arbitrary branching. With the powerful [::puter/goto node-name] syntax you can now do just that! This continues our unbroken record of far outpacing Electric Clojure's development 😏

Ok y'all here is graphputer, a little experiment I'm playing with: github.com/donut-party/graph… I'd love any thoughts! Does it make sense? Does it seem useful?

I'm writing a new library and naming it graphputer. Very pleased with this name. That is all.
