macroexpand-2 - Connecting Clojure Data Practitioners, Startups, Consultancies, and Academic Groups
Join us for our second meeting of macroexpand gatherings, a Scicloj initiative that brings together Clojurians for focused, action-oriented discussions to help Clojure grow in new domains and use cases.
The two main questions we will ask are:
- What are some of the main challenges for groups and individuals who use Clojure in data projects?
- What can we do to improve the situation?
Are you using Clojure for data analysis, modeling, engineering, or visualization? Whether you’re with a startup, consultancy, academic institution, or any organization working with data, we want to connect with you.
Please share this broadly.
This meeting is co-organised by @syungb & @daslu.
Joining
Please mark your participation using the form before Aug. 5th.
