Introduce yourself!

Hello all :wave:

My name is Felix - I’m from Australia and I was introduced to Clojure about 10 years ago (by another Felix!). At the time I was learning Python and wasn’t ready to pickup Clojure, but I watched Simple Made Easy and was struck by Rich’s vision.

As I learned more about Clojure I found the way I thought about computer systems and programming (Python) was changing to become more “functional”.

Then about 4 or 5 years ago I started some hobby projects which were painful at times, but the longer I invested in Clojure(script) the more I became convinced of its benefits.

Today, I’m about 12 months into co-founding a Clojure full-stack startup. Our stack includes datomic, datascript, sente, keechma-next, shadow-cljs and helix (plus of course a bunch of Javascript and Java). We’re a GCP build partner, so we run all of that tightly integrated with the Google cloud stack (GKE) which has been great too.

I guess you could say, I’m betting on Clojure! :smiley:
