Holy Dev Newsletter December 2024

This is going to be the last issue for a while. I have decided to focus on personal development and making the best out of the time we are given. I cannot spread myself too thin, if I want to achieve anything. Technology is great fun, and I could surely spend multiple lives immersing into it. But it is only fun - it means nothing in the context of Life.

I am sure I will still encounter and store interesting links in the course of my job. You can occasionally check out my Tumblr feed, which is/was anyway the source of my monthly "Gems from the world wide web".

I’ve spent most of 2024 working on Wolframite, the bridge between Clojure and Wolfram for scientists and people working with data. We still haven’t released v1 but the code is done, and we will cut it out very soon. We have spent the last few months creating extensive documentation and tutorials. I don’t really plan to be much involved further, beyond necessary maintenance.

Other than that, I have spent some time improving my fulcro tooling and my Chrome plugin Testofill, learning Rama, and writing a few blog posts and talks.
