I've only been skimming this but "analysis paralysis" comes to mind :-). What is the harm in establishing a presence in matrix (bagsy the "neo" handle) and letting people know? As has been said, people will vote with their feet so if in a months time matrix is a Clojure ghost town then lesson learn

I watched the matrix video linked above and it seems there is a Slack bridge that would allow Slack fans to stay put and others to choose their own client or even go back to IRC. What am I missing? I too have no skin in this game... I still prefer this mailing list, as is self evident. I suppose I

I have no skin in this game, but wasn't the move to Slack pretty much a "vote with your feet" combined with word of mouth advertising? It seems to me the same could happen to add another on-line chat tool/system, without anyone taking a poll/voting on this or any other medium. We'll know when it

Eastwood analyzes your code to look for constructs that might be errors. Kibit analyzes code to look for places where you could use Clojure macros or functions that may make your code shorter, or more idiomatic. Andy On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 9:16 AM, Travis Daudelin wrote: > Hi, thanks for pos

Hi, thanks for posting this looks great! Is there any overlap in functionality between Eastwood and Kibit ? It's not clear to me which tool I should prefer nor when. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.

While it has some nice properties (decentralised, open, can be encrypted etc) it comes at a serious usability cost. I doubt the whole com
